Ah, yes, that does sound like something (at least some versions of) NFS would not like. My NFS experience is limited, but I do recall reading that your client would likely freeze when doing that. There's only one way to find out, though :-) Just give it a try when it won't inconvenience anyone. If it does freeze up, simply rebooting the client after restarting NFS should get it back in a usable state, so hopefully you won't have to do it that often. -Mark _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
