Hi, I belive, everyone who is dealing with NFS knows the following situation: Work with a nfs mounted filesystem, while the NFS-server got unavailable results in locked processes. That is OK because the processes are unlocked again and will continue with their work when the server is back online. So far so good. That was the situation on all FreeBSD I used before. (3.3 - 5.4) Now my NFS-nt is running 6-CURRENT and my NFS-server still runs 5.4 When the server gets unavailable, the proccesses on the client will lock - OK so far. The problematic thing is, after the server is back online, I still see no way to get the locked processes back to continue. They are still in heir NFS-lock. All I can do is reboot the system. That only happens when I mount the nfs filesystem with "soft". olivleh1@kartoffel olivleh1> ps auxww | grep bee olivleh1 633 0.0 0.9 70980 18668 v0 S Wed10PM 14:19.21 beep- media-player When I don't use that option, it continues playing after the server is back online. -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/
