Quite often, an operation (cp, rm, etc) will just hang, or so the reports tell me. Yet another NFS server (on a different 56k to the client) running 2.2-ALPHA serves it's filesystems reliably. I've recently tried mounting with TCP transport, but it hasn't been long enough yet to know if this solves the problem. While we're on the subject of NFS, I see in the release notes for 2.2.1 that you can set NFS up with async writes? I've looked through the documentation, but I don't see anything referring to async NFS. Am i looking in the wrong places? -Shawn Carey
