The FreeBSD NFS filesystem has been improved:
-* It now supports a timeout on positive name cache entries on the client side. A new mount option `nametimeo` has been added and set to `60` (in seconds) by default.[http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=233326[r233326]
-* A memory leak when a ZFS volume is exported via the FreeBSD NFS server has been fixed.[http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=234740[r234740]
-* A bug has been fixed. When a process writes to an mmap-backed file on an NFS filesystem, flushing changes to the data could fail under some circumstances such as errors due to permission mismatch, and this failure could not be detected as an error. A new man:sysctl[8] variable `vfs.nfs.nfs_keep_dirty_on_error` has been added to control the behavior on the client side related to this issue. When this is set to `1`, the pages where a write operation failed are kept dirty. The default value is set to `0`.[http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=233730[r233730]
-* The man:nfsv4[4] filesystem now supports a man:sysctl[8] variable `vfs.nfsd.disable_checkutf8`. This disables the check for UTF-8 compliance in filenames. This is disabled by default. Note that enabling this may help wht some interoperability issues but results in an NFSv4 server that is not RFC 3530 compliant.[http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=229799[r229799]
