AFAIK it's actually saying that an NFS mount is trying to find a file that has been moved or removed on the distant end and no longer viable. If you don't use NFS removing the rpms for it would probably prevent it from re-occuring. If you do, sounds like one of your mounts is getting changed by another user and affecting you. I did notice that around 2.4.19 they were working on this in the kernel... Here is a link to some of that info. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02521.html James
