(lots of collisions) Hmmm, well the client/server are both on 100mbit full duplex switched ethernet, fxp0<->fxp0 with no load other than the build going on. btw, just finished run 4 of buildworld, still kicking. I would just like to say, that unlike certain zealots of other operating systems I've always been a bit hesitant to recommend FreeBSD over solaris because of this one factor (NFS). It now seems I can't think of a single reason, (I'm much more a cluster fan than an SMP fan) SMP just doesn't buy you enough to justify putting all your eggs in one basket... Oh and the client is SMP, so i'm quite impressed on that fron as well. Oh and the newbus stuff.... "rah rah rah!" works like a charm except my USB (which i have no prepherals for anyhow). -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
