The default settings should be fine. What was the error you got when you cycled the netapp? If you did a soft/intr mount, you sould have gotten errors while the netapp was down, but they should have gone away once it came back up. With the default (hard) mount, accesses will simply hang until the remote end comes back up. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
