Strange, since i upgraded to FreeBSD-6.1 and the NFS server to Fedora Core 5, my machine, NFS client is happy, and lockd works. It is first time since years i have no problem. It certainly did not work with FreeBSD-5 and i still have a machine with FreeBSD-6.0 which does not work properly (frequently loses the NFS mount, but it gets remounted some times later by amd). Anyways i have exactly 0 problem with the 6.1 machine. I could extend that to say that everything works very well on that machine, nothing is slow, including disk access. This has not always been the case. Stability wise, i have not seen any panic, hang or whatever since i have compiled a kernel adapted to my hardware. I got a panic with the generic kernel soon after installation, but now machine is totally stable. -- Michel TALON
