I used to buildworld/installeworld using NFS shares at one time. Testing it again this morning revealed still no issues. I used a ro src and rw obj during my test. --- Sent using a tiny phone keyboard. Apologies for any typos and autocorrect. This old phone only supports top post. Apologies.

I just updated FreeBSD-CURRENT to 326070 and was able to install the kernel and world. When I attempted to run mergemaster, I received the following error message: *** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot *** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use *** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot /bin/sh: cannot create freebsd.cf: Permission denied *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /usr/src and install files to the temproot environment In the many years that I have been doing updates using NFS shares, it has never required write access to /usr/src to use for a temproot.
