New client says the following: Flags: rw,sync,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,acregmin=0,acregmax=0,acdirmin=0,acdirmax=0, hard,intr,noac,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,addr=10.0.12.152 We do have a client mounted on a different server using version 4. It seems to keep up with the attributes, but we haven't tested it much yet. Does anyone have opinions on version 4 and what should I be aware of? Off to googleland. Steve
