Seems your NFS server doesn't answer. Try mounting it into a 2nd-level directoy (e.g. /mnt/nfs) as opposed to a first-level directory. This should prevent getcwd(3) from hanging at least, so you can examine the state of the system (and of the hanging process(es)) with ps(1). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
