I guess the missing info might be that things get indirected somewhat.

We check out code into /some/deep/directory/tree.  Then, to protect
against the 80 character path limitation, we create /tmp/bld.XXXXX/

/some/deep/directory/tree.
Hmm, could be due to the indirecting I guess...you should be able to
test that pretty easily.

We then do various things like:

   mount -t nullfs /some/deep/directory/tree/src scratch/build/src
   mount -t nullfs /some/deep/directory/tree/obj scratch/build/obj
   mount -t devfs devfs scratch/dev
   mount -t procfs procfs scratch/proc

and do a "OBJDIRPREFIX=/build/obj chroot scratch make -C /build/src".

Oh, and errum, we've got debug.mpsafenet="0" in /boot/loader.conf -
which is a remnant of when we were using 5.4 and the races in the
socket code killed our application under load.

Does the nullfs code path hit the network stack??
No.

I don't have success with mount_nullfs on 6.1/amd64 either:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /jail/www/usr]# mount_nullfs /usr/ports /jail/www/usr/ports
mount_nullfs: Operation not supported by device

Presumably it is not enabled in your kernel and you do not have the
module available either (it is present on a default installation
though).  I use nullfs on amd64 every day so I know it works fine.

Ah, you're right, I found it in NOTES, but I don't see why this feature is not in the GENERIC kernel. This is a production system where I don't have modules, that's why I had the error, but imho it should be added to GENERIC as well.
