Because of the extra disk space taken by the full /usr/src tree I am now trying to mount my XFree86 directory across NFS from a SUN SPARC machine. Problem is that whenever I try to run X (or indeed any other program) through NFS the shell hangs, I can't kill off the process even with a -9. I can do ls -Rl happily on the NFS mounted directory but a "file *" command fails on the first or second file..... Did these sort of problems exist with NFS prior to patchkit 0.2.2? I noticed a good number of patches for NFS in the patchkit version 0.2.2. Anyone got any ideas? -- Steve Owen
