Zdziarski" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: NFS Continued Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've found after last night's problems, that freebsd is still accumulating sever processes in disk-wait mode over NFS, which crashed the server last night, yet my flagset includes soft. Here is my fstab: mshowell:/usr/home/coffee /usr/home/coffee nfs rw,bg,intr,soft 0 0 I don't see why there should be any processes in disk-wait with intr and soft setup, yet I had over 128 last night. If you try and kill mountd or unmount it, the entire system will freeze. I'm hoping the experts here will be able to tell me what's going on - I haven't received any response yet to my other post. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan A.
