Re: NFS problems on Linux client when Solaris HOST crashes

[Eddie Chen]

Do you have it as "hard" mount ?  Try  mount   as "soft" .

I hope i've sent this inquiry to the correct address.

The other night our SUN system running Solaris 2.6 crashed.  Attached via
NFS mount were a couple of LINUX machines (each was running SLACKWARE
2.2.16).  When the SUN box crashed it appears to have hosed the linux
machines.  We couldn't log into the linux machines and they had to be
booted.

We wondering if anyone is aware of this problem and if they have any
solutions.

Thanks,
Joan
