See if you can duplicate this on any :4.0/5.0 boxes you have, I have tried on both and it worked, however it :does not crash 3.x boxes.. : :Try your luck, :Jason DiCioccio Ok, I'm a bit confused. You are running this script on the NFS client while CD'd into an NFS mount and the NFS server is crashing? Or are you running this on the NFS server while CD'd into a local disk mount and the NFS server is crashing? I presume the web site you are fetching from is not crashing. Have you tried exporting a non-raid mount from the server to the client to see if that crashes? The only thing that happens to me when I run the above script on an NFS client while CD'd into an NFS server is that the client winds up with thousands of sockets in TIME_WAIT on the client until it runs out and starts getting 'socket is not connected' errors (I was using a web server on my LAN so the fetches were completeing very quickly). But the NFS server didn't have any problems. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
