It seems unlikely, >but it is not at all impossible I guess. >Are you running any combination of samba/nfs/ata? ATA, yes -- sole disk in the machine is of that persuasion. (Well, it's usually the sole disk. I soometimes stuff another ATA drive in the machine, for copying things....) NFS, yes, but rather light duty. (When I decide to upgrade one of the other boxen, I'll mount the build machine's /usr/src & /usr/obj & just do the "make install{kernel,world}" && mergmaster on the target, rather than re-building on the slower machine. I do this once per fortnight.) Samba -- no. (Wouldn't know how to determine if it works.) The machine is fairly seriously underutilized most of the time. And as noted, I track both -STABLE and -CURRENT daily, so it's not running the same OS for more than 20 consecutive hours. Cheers, david -- David H.
