I installed 4.1rel onto a machine that had been running 98 / linux for a while. All was well. Then I had need to use its disk space via nfs from = the Alpha. No problem I thought, connected alpha to the new 4.1 box with=20 something like: mount -t nfs rsize=3D1024 wsize=3D1024 lisa:/u2 /mnt lisa is the FreeBSD4.1 machine I kept the exact command I used but its not here :-( It was something=20 like the above. I did a couple of small dumps OK. Then I started a =7E4Gig = dump. Got to around half a Gig, I was starting to think all was well when the = ed0 light stopped blinking. I ran to the keyboard, no respose. While I dumbly = stared=20 at the machine, it rebooted. That solved my immediate problem of what to = do=21 I ended the trial.=20 I did not have any intr type switches, should I have? I had hoped FreeBSD = / nfs had matured in the 3 years since it let me down last. Should this have = worked? Why did my 4.1 machine reboot=21? Can this work or should I look at = alternatives?
