Hi All,

My Unix boxes are heavy crossmounters of disks served
mainly by Mandy Linux, + mandy-mandy mounts.

Problem is that if any one host goes down, all other
hosts hang with a df. Additionally, other programs
that utilize "df" (eg. our backups, ssh --when it
tries to generate random seed runs a number of
commands, including df) hang as well.

I have read and implemented two "thought" solutions:

1. mounting inside a dir i.e. 
mount -t nfs HOSTA:/dirAAA /HOSTA/dirAAA
instead of:
mount -t nfs HOSTA:/dirAAA /dirAAA
It is not suggested to mount nfs dirs under root.

2.Using the "soft" option for mounting (default=hard).

None of these are a cure. Any additional suggestions
out there?

_Thanks

Richard
