For some reason, working in the NFS filesystem on the FreeBSD system meets with annoyingly frequent lockups of the terminal, particularly when editing files or executing df or du. If there's a configuration somewhere that fixes this, I can't find it. My /etc/fstab entry on the FreeBSD box is: sol:/export/home /sol/home nfs rw,noauto,bg,soft 0 0 /etc/dfs/dfstab on the Solaris box contains: share -F nfs -o rw -d home dirs /export/home and /etc/dfs/sharetab contains: /export/home- nfs rw home dirs I don't think I'm missing anything, but I'm sure NFS isn't supposed to be this unstable either. Any suggestions would be welcome. See FAQ 12.12 and section 23.3.5 of the handbook. The -r=1024 parameter solved my problems. -- Kelly D.

Thank you, this solves the problem when mounting manually. What if I used amd to automatically mount the NFS share? I didn't find how to set mount specific options in amd. Well, I've no experience with amd. I took a quick look at amd.conf(5), the selectors_on_default parameter looks like it may be relevant. -- Kelly D.

Re: Syncing 3 Freebsd servers' accounts Question
