I have sunsite mounted via nfs on sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk I've lost the connection to sunsite (network problems elsewhere in the university), but whenever mcv21 tries to do anything that involves running a shell, I just get the error
nfs: task 358 <the number varies> can't get a request slot and the thing just hangs: root can call up shells fine tho. The load is steadily rising as well. It's now about 8 :(. Any ideas? will unmounting /sunsite do anything, or will I just get a /sunsite: device busy message?
