John Polstra did some leg work and found a few candidate commits which he suggested backing out one by one to see if they affected the current situation with NFS.
On the server I downgraded vfs_bio.c to rev 1.187 & rebooted; no luck. I then installed the same kernel (with the downgraded vfs_bio.c) to the client. Bingo. With both NFS client & server machine running rev 1.187, the problem so far as building XFree86-contrib from an NFS mounted /usr/ports disappears. As Chuck Robey noted, it seems like the client's writes are not completely being committed to the server, which results in partially baked files which are truncated. Unfortunately -r1.188 -r1.187 doesn't apply cleanly, so there's some work to be done by Eivind to adapt his subsequent commits if we were to say, back out 1.188 prior to the branch. -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
