How is /usr/obj mounted? /usr/obj isn't mounted, i'm just compiling a kernel. no i have no msdos mounted filesystems, i do however have an unmounted win98 partition and a cdrom with joliet extentions mounted however the cdrom only contains mp3s. After doing more data manipulation (copying files around to flush the NFS cache) it seems to reload the data then it finds them ok and tries to link, during the link i get missing references to several symbols, symbol sizes changed etc etc... Just seems like bad data. Now if i just go into the dir on the server and link the kernel it's fine, no problems whatsoever. (compile on local disk) -Alfred PS, i suspect the 3comIII card in the laptop # ep: 3Com 3C509 (buggy) NFS perfomance and stability in 3.1-stable and 4.0 have been surperb lately. one reboot when i was killing a low ram NFS server a few weeks ago and just this today (which could be the NIC) otherwise very impressive.
