I did passing fd work in linux circa 1.3.8x, the performance in simple benchmarks is about twice of freebsd (I'll come up with better numbers soon, I have to install a snapshot). FreeBSD nfs performance looks better (this is a major bone I have with linux). -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom
