[geeks] NFS again.

[Joshua D Boyd]

Well, I thought I had solve the problem of NFS freezing after I was able to
reset my 3Com Lanplex to the factory defaults.  However, after a few days the
problems came back, albeit with much less frequency.  I'm fairly certain that 
the problem is caused by the Lanplex because just putting those two machines
on a seperate hub (but connected via uplink to the 3com) fixes it.

Now, the really wierd thing is that I've been trying to recreate the problem
between one of my Sparc NetBSD boxes and the linux NFS server, and so far I 
can't.  I've written a script that copies gigs off of the NFS server to 
/dev/null.  I'm now trying to figure out a way to copy gigs from the NetBSD
box to the NFS server (the NetBSD box doesn't have gigs, and I want to do it
from a script).

Also, I have /usr/src on the NetBSD as a link to /bsdmount/src, which is on the
NFS server.  I do this since this box has barely any disk space, and so I want
sup to dump the software to the nfs server, then build from there.  The problem
that I run into is that I haven't been able to make uid 0 translate problem.
The line in the servers exports file is:
/export/bsd     192.168.0.155(rw, no_root_squash, insecure, no_all_squash)

Should the no_root_squash mean that root on other systems acts as root on that
share?  That is what the man page seems to indicate.
