Tom, please reproduce the problem but before doing it run the following commands and save the output: On the client: nfsstat -c netstat -m netstat -s On the server: nfsstat -s netstat -m netstat -s Run the rm -rf /foo Rerun the above commands on both the client and server and of course save the output again :-) RTFM-ing for nfsstat I am disappointed that nfsstat does not have -z option for zeroing out the counters. Time to look at the source :-) Marc (who in a former life and now current life is doing NFS support) -- Marc Wiz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, that really is my last name. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
