It actually is quite simple, but takes a lot of disk space for the sources.
I tried to build the Debian xfree86 package, in order to try
fixing Bug#174282. It ran out of space. :-( I tried NFS next
but it was awfully slow (ran for 11 hours, then failed) even
though I have a 100 Mbps network. My AS500 has 512 MiB of RAM;
would Coda or NBD let it cache files better?
Sounds odd to me. I compiled XFree86 over 100MB NFS and I'm sure it didn't take
11 hours on my pws433.
Does the NFS server have "sync" enabled ?
