What was the format of the mount command that you used? (i.e. what options were specified, just enter mount to display this stuff). If you haven't try specifying intr and soft as options. This way you should be able to kill things without a re-IPL. Also what rsize/wsize did you specify? What's the MTU between the Linux guest and NFS server? Are you using NFS v2 or v3? If v3 are you using TCP/IP rather than UDP?
Neale -----Original Message----- Hello all (particularly Alan, Romney and crew!), We have been doing testing with a new development version of SAS V9 for Linux390 for a couple months now, and had not run into any major issues until just recently. We are near the end of our "Proof of Concept", and just ran into this problem which is a major stumbling block for us. It appears to be an NFS locking issue, and not due to SAS. However, I learned many, many moons ago, back when most of my hair wasn't grey (or I even *had* most of my hair, for that matter!) to never rule out ANYTHING until a problem/issue is resolved.
