Sure. But maybe you don't have server mount points with 34k+ files in
them? I notice when I increase maxsockbuf, the problem of "disappearing
files" goes away, mostly. Often a "find /mnt" fixes the problem
temporarily, until I unmount and mount again.

Yes, that has the same exact problem. However, if I use:
mount -t nfs <server>:/path /mnt
The problem does indeed go away! But it means I have to mount all the
subdirectories independently, which I'm trying to avoid and is the
reason I went to NFSv4.

Then that settles it-- the newnfs client seems to be the problem. Just
to recap... These two are *terribly* slow (e.g. a VBR mp3 avg 192kbps
cannot be played without skips):
mount -t newnfs -o nfsv4 server:/path /mnt
mount -t newnfs -o nfsv3 server:/path /mnt
But this one works just fine (H.264 1080p video does not skip):
mount -t nfs server:/path /mnt
I guess I will have to wait for you to bring the v4 client up to date.
Thanks again for all of your contributions and for porting NFSv4 to
FreeBSD!
