I believe this is rather a bug in the NFS implementation in not removing mountdtab entries at umount time. Removing mountdtab on bootup is the wrong way. It is _intented_ to persist across system boots, since the NFS protocol was designed so that a server can go down and up again while a client is holding it mounted. -- 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. ;-)home | help
