Hello.

This seems to be a never ending story :-(

I reported several problems with 4.4-PRERELEASE and for 4.3-STABLE
as for the 1st August 2001. These problems are highly related to
our diskless stations and to NFS.

Very often I see a kinf of 'NFS race 0:81' or similar message on the
console of one of our slave servers which mounts its diskspace from
a master server.

On the other hand, we have problems with our diskless stations acting
as X terminals. the image of PXEBOOT seems to be broken! It makes each
terminal hang after it tries to boot. Then there is a TFTP problem!
very often several terminals can not boot due to the fact of a TFTP
timeout on the server - and I can not reproduce this behaviour! The same
configuration, the same small network (and no outer influences!) and the
same strange behaviour sometimes. I boot a terminal - and it works fine,
I boot it again - and it stops working!

Does someone observed the same strange behaviour?
