You need to install the kernel with the updated nfsserver. I'd have a look here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html In general, when doing a source upgrade you should follow these steps: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html In general the FreeBSD handbook is very helpful for these sorts of things. I recommend it as a good place to start if you're new to FreeBSD. The handbook is at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/index.html > 2) Could the server faults be increasing because of something else? Or > is it just memory leaks? I havent seen an out of memory error yet on ops. Server faults could be increasing for a variety of reasons, though we've been running without one for 9 days or so (since we applied the patch). -- Ted Faber http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.asc Unexpected attachment on this mail?
