Hi, https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193128 This bug report discusses a bug in the Solaris NFS server that is tickled by the way FreeBSD currently does exclusive open in the NFS client. FreeBSD sets both the mtime to the time of the client and also the file's mode using a Setattr RPC done after an exclusive create of the file in an exclusive open. Jason (jnaughto@ee.ryerson.ca) was able to figure out that the server bug can be avoided if the mtime is set to the server's time (xxx_TOSERVER option in the Setattr RPC request). I'd like to propose a new mount option that forces the FreeBSD client to use xxx_TOSERVER for setting times, mostly to be used as a work around for this Solaris server bug. 1 - Does doing this make sense to others? 2 - If the answer to one is "Yes", then what do you think the option should be called? useservertime useservtm ust OR ?? Thanks in advance for your comments, rick
