I do some irregular "make release" to obtain some up to date installation disks. Because my FreeBSD machine is low on disk space, the chroot environment is located on an Solaris (2.)7 NFS server. In the past months I was successful doing complete "make release"s with this configuration (NFSv2/UDP) (I just did a minor kernel modification, so that chflags don't report EINVAL over NFS but just ignore it). But my latest "make release" failed again (it seems to be deterministic, at least 3 times it failed on this file): <chrootdir>/usr/include/math.h doesn't get installed properly. At offset 4k I just get the usual 0 bytes. My latest successful build is from 21./22. Dec My build machine is a -current machine with usually no older than 1 week.
