If I have a filesystem mounted from my server machine onto one of my client machines, and then unmount the filesystem on the server, the next time I type `df' the client stops working. No panic, nothing just dead. In X the mouse stops moving, and I cannot switch to a text console. On a text console, I cannot get any response to the keyboard, including Ctrl-Alt-Del. I was thinking about adding DDB to the kernel, but with this type of lockup, I suspect it won't do any good. I discovered this the other night when I developed a couple of bad blocks on a drive and repartitioned it to allow bad144 bad sector forwarding, before reloading from tape. brian
