The NFS server is a PPro FBSD 2.2.5-REL, the client is an Enterprise 4000 with Solaris 2.5.1 At runtime some of the application functions just get stuck. I don't think this problem is FreeBSD specific, but is anyone to recall which recommendations and points worth attention when buying into a NFS choice? Referring to my problem, could it be possible a data rapresentation mismatch/inchoerency between the two platforms (FreeBSD and Solaris), or just merely a problem related with the big sizes of the binaries involved? Thanks - Marco
