It works fine for me. I use it for kernel, userland, ports and package installation. Builds from nfs client side work fine, too. Some points you can check: 1. On your building machine: Does /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/csu/i386-elf/crt1.o exist? If not something went wrong with your "make buildworld". On the target machine: Are kernel and the userland you try to install in sync? 2. From the FreeBSD Handbook: "All the machines in this build set need to mount /usr/obj and /usr/src from the same machine, and at the same point." http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.html Are you sure both directory trees exported and mounted correctly? ie. my /etc/exports line on the nfs server looks like this: /usr/obj /usr/src /usr/ports -maproot=0:0 -network 192.168.123.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 My corresponding /etc/fstab lines on the target host: 192.168.123.10:/usr/ports /usr/ports nfs rw,-i,-s,-r=8192,-w=8192 0 0 192.168.123.10:/usr/src /usr/src nfs rw,-i,-s,-r=8192,-w=8192 0 0 192.168.123.10:/usr/obj /usr/obj nfs rw,-i,-s,-r=8192,-w=8192 0 0 3. Does nfs properly work? Some cheap low-end NICs possibly show a high packet retransmission rate and packet loss. This also can happen, if your nfs server is overloaded. You can check this with 'netstat -i -w 5', tcpdump or any other network sniffer. In this case tuning of your nfs mounts could help a little (man 8 mount_nfs). Try to play around with readsize and timeouts or try to use tcp instead of udp.
