Hi folks,

We're seeing some funny NFS behavior...

Specifically, if a fileserver is reset or loses connectivity (ie: you get a
warning about "unreachable") any process which has a binary on that disk
is dead meat (vm errors).

"soft" mounted disks can't be ^Cd out of a "df", for example (that should
work) and don't time out and fail.

I am beginning to wonder if the "soft" switch is backwards!

Anyone have any ideas or thoughts?
