I think that the default vrsion of 9.2 is nfs 2.0. If I am correct, 
there is a limitation of 2. Gbyte because the NFS 2.0. In nfs 3.0, this 
limitation has been increased in size.

I seem to be having some problems with 10.0 with an AMD 64. That version 
of nfs would lock the system up if you try to mount server. I had to use 
the user space version to prevent that.

Under 10.0 this problem goes away. In the current version, I am still 
trying to hunt the problem down I found that the system would freeze 
given the following:

copy Nsf server-64-bit nfs client-32-bit
from nfs server server system lock up
from cp nfsclient-32-bit server system lock up
neither file was in exported file system
sftp seems to work from nfsclient
