Doug, you awake for this one? Greg, Julian, You paying attention? I have *the* strange story of the decade for you... We set up a new backup system here over the weekend, using a universally mounted NFS/SAMBA solution. Really neat. And it works great. I can back up the entire network in under an hour, seven days a week! But, I digress.. Every machine on the network mounts this 4g partition, and does a dump to it. So, to make life easier, we of course put this mount into each hosts fstab. No problems on any of them, *except* for our "homesick" nameserver. Nevertheless, here is what the line looks like (in *every* host): greeves:/backup /backup nfs rw 2 2 So, back to our problem. When boot time comes around, this *one* machine: (a) complains about an RPC timeout, and will do it forever unless stopped with a control-c (obviously, aborting the /backup mount), and (b) attempts to send approximately 500 (yes, that's five _hundred_) "Network Unreachable" messages to 204.216.27.18 - "hub.freebsd.org"! At first (until I looked up the IP addy) I thought this machine had been compromised, and was sending a notice to it's new "owner". I am about at the point of being ready to just reload this guy and call it a day, but before I do, anyone have any ideas??? Enjoy... J.A.
