I recently found, for example, tar sometimes doesn't restore file
mtime correctly (see example below). But if I mount with -o -2, then
timestamp is restored correctly. Does anyone rest have similar
experience? Or am I missing something?
The nfs server and client are both NetBSD/i386 1.2_BETA, but things
are same with FreeBSD-current machine I have.

plants-doll% which tar
/usr/bin/tar
plants-doll% pwd # /tmp is ffs.
/tmp
plants-doll% tar tvf t # contents of tar file `/tmp/t'

-rw-r--r-- 1 enami wheel 0 Jul 7 13:28 a
plants-doll% tar xvf t # restore onto old file
a
plants-doll% ls -l a # new file with correct time stamp

plants-doll% cd /a/tmp # goto nfs mounted directory
plants-doll% ls -l a # there is also old file

plants-doll% tar xvf /tmp/t # overwrite it

plants-doll% ls -l a # extracted but wrong time stamp
