The /export directories are locally mounted ffs. I'm attempting to have one server act as failover incase the other server goes away. The problem is that mountd generates different filehandles for the two /export directories, and as such the failover does not automatically occur. Is there any way to tell mount_nfs to give up on the old filehandle and get a new one through mountd? Or to get the two mountds to generate the same filehandle information every time? -- Brandon Poyner, Unix Systems Engineer brandon@veranet.net VeraNet Solutions, a BiznessOnline.com Company http://www.veranet.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
