At least the > effect is the same. I filed a problem report, kern/2858. But your problem was related to a multi-homed server. ISTR that this case never worked very well. I think the problem that's the subject of this thread is slightly different, in that it also happens on single-homed machines. (Anyway, umounting a NFS resource should at least be forcible even if the server is dead, by using the -f flag.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
