When the nfs server gets disconnected the filesystem dissapears, I can live with that. After all networks go down now and then.

But unfortunatley the location where the directory was mounted will be impossible to list, even after the server is up again. Trying to unmount ot mount the directory will also fail and just freeze the console.
df dousn't work either.

I have tried to kill mountd, nfsd and rpc.lockd and to empty /var/db/mountdbtab and bring the daemons up again but still the problem persists. Tcpdump tells me that the machines doesn't even try to reconnect the lost connection.

The last opton is to reboot, but there must be a better solution to a busy server!


Would amd solve this problem instead of mounting the shares in fstab ?
