Oh, _very_ interesting.

Does only FreeBSD > 5.1 use 16-byte cookies? I have a 4.9 box which 
works fine with Linux and if I remember correctly 5.1 also haven't had 
this incompatibility.

But what about that mystiq disk access? It's not so funny to see my 
3ware controler (the LED) accessing disks while no process is running 
(shown) which would cause it.

Thanks a lot,

P.S.: If somebody would port linux's DVB-s driver 
(http://www.linuxtv.org/dvb/drivers.xml) to FreeBSD I'd make a port for 
VDR (http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/) and the I could get rid of this linux 
box, thus I no longer need NFS compatibility :)
