Just be warned: If the NFS-Server crashs or reboots and you try to umount the nfs from the OpenBSD-Box your BSD will risk a Kernel-Panic and data-loss. I crashed my AMD64 and my Notebook (and some i386 Hardware wich is not my) this way (and it's reproduceable). :-) But if you don't do a umount of e.g. /mnt/nfs after the NFS-Server crashed/powered_off you wont have any trouble. And if you don't do a `cd /mnt/nfs` after the NFS-Server crashed/powered off you don't even lose your TTY! ;-) But "if" you do it you risk again a Kernel-Panic and lose the TTY you're logged in and "halt -p" should drop you into the ddb-Console where you can play "hangman".... :-) Kind regards, Sebastian
