John, - Here is contents of /etc/exports on the system running the NFS server:
/xs2files 192.168.47.72(rw,sync,no_root_squash) - The lock and portmap daemons appear to be running on the effected system(s). - I don't see any .nfs* files in the filesystem. - The files are mounted rw as you can see above.

I haven't seen it for some years; I recall it used to happen a lot with RHL 5.0, and I don't know when it stopped bothering me.... What's in /etc/exports? Has one of the daemons died? Are you finding .nfs<bla blah> files getting left around? If you're exporting ro, does mounting "-o nolock" help? -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ************************************************************************* The information contained in this communication is confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
