:Hmm, I intend to setup a FreeBSD NFS server, and was planning to use
:softupdates. What problems are there with nfs+softupdate? If these are
:in -stable, are they also in -current?

I haven't encountered any problems with NFS serving a softupdates
filesystem verses NFS serving a normal filesystem. This isn't to say
that there aren't any bugs in NFS - there are - but exporting a
softupdates filesystem verses a non-softupdates filesystem should not
make it any worse.
However, you should note one thing: softupdates bends the NFS spec
considerably by not being able to guarentee synchronization, which may
throw the clients slightly out of whack if the server crashes and
reboots.
That said, all of my NFS exports are of softupdates-enabled filesystems
and that has never caused a problem for me.
