NFS default mount behavior is to block when the NFS volume is unavailable. There's another option (forgot which, it's a mount option) where I/O will fail when the NFS volume times out instead of blocking until the NFS volume comes back. You want that, so that disk I/O won't block. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
