He-Hey!! I'm having the same trouble. I posted about it, got a couple of suggestions for fixes, but, no luck. I'd be very interested in hearing of any other people with this trouble or with a fix :-). For the record, I am running a Novell 3.11 server with Novell NFS 1.1. My 386bsd box is an Everex 386/25 w/16MB RAM and 150MB IDE disk. I already tried playing with the buffer sizes (helped when I initially tried NFS reads - the problem was pretty severe, now it doesn't happen as much with rsize/wsize=4096). I tried applying the patches that some people suggested too. -John jackson@a1.mec.mass.edu
