The others may still be in use. So what is _supposed_ to happen to these files? is the nfs server supposed to remove them automatically? Or are they just supposed to hang around till I kill them on the server? Also, I read in a couple mailing list archive messages that the nfsv3 in 2.2.x is not stable, is this true? should I be using nfsv2?
