Well, thats a somewhat spurious argument. 4.0-R *does* demonstrably fix a lot of NFS bugs, so there's a chance that by using the old, buggy code you'll one day run into problems with your NFS server which you'll spend all your time trying to fix and never get any real work done. Or perhaps it will just silently trash your data :-) It's the nature of an active software project that things often get better if you use a newer version :-) > And besides, the attribute cache is supposed to be on the client only, > not on the server, and the client is already running 3.4-STABLE. I don't know about this. Try talking to Alfred Perlstein (alfred@freebsd.org) or Matt Dillon (dillon@freebsd.org) who are two people who know the NFS code well.
