Is NFS still broken in FreeBSD?

Hi,

according to [1], NFS in FreeBSD is broken, and I'm wondering if it
still is.

I need to export some directories rw and some ro with an /etc/exports
like this:


/b/tftpboot/FreeBSD/install -ro -maproot=root
/p/default


The "default" directory needs to be exported read-write.  That seems to
be impossible with FreeBSD --- if that is really so, NFS is totally
broken in FreeBSD.  To make it more strange, it worked as intended until
I restarted the server.  NFS v4 doesn't seem to work at all.

This has cost me a whole day now :(
