I've noticed about 99% of the panics on our machines are the result of NFS, more often than not it is the result of a backing store file being blown away underneath the client. ie. person editing a file on one machine, compiling and running on a second, then removing the binary on the first machine. If we had a working lock manager could we not have the kernel open a shared lock on anything it had in backing store, would that not assure that files didn't go poof in the night? -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Acting Lab Director | NYSLP: FREEBSD Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
