using nfs /usr/src for patches

[Guest_imported]

Hi,
Just a simple question. I've got a Sparc5 as firewall and a Sparc20 as Web server. Both of them have a 2G HD which is not enough to store the source tree. So I installed the source on one of my linux servers. I've then simple mounted the drive per nfs when I was doing any patching.

My question is: could there be any problem because I'm using the same source tree for two machines ? Which are the important steps to not have any dep problems : make cleandirs ?

Thanks for any help
marc

there should be no problems with source tree as long as you mount it read-only or build kernels outside it

ie

config -s /usr/src/sys -b /home/user/sparc50 ./SPARC50
