Being relatively new to debian, I was surprised that my system will panic when mounting an nfs partition. I checked the man-page for mount options, read a few FAQ's, and searched through the last few months of list archives. Nothing was mentioned about this problem, so it must be something I'm doing.
Basically, I'm trying to mount a nfs partition exported from a Solaris 2.7 box (using both v2 and v3 nfs) and get a panic error that freezes the local workstation. Could someone point me to the document that points out the errors of my ways? mount -t nfs -o tcp,defaults,bg,soft <hostname>:/var/mail /var/mail or in /etc/fstab <hostname>:/var/mail /var/mail nfs defaults,tcp,bg,soft 0 0 Any help appreciated. Thanks. --- John Mastrolia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
