That shouldn't be the case in standard 2.6.22 unless you've also applied the NFS_ALL patches. In that case, there is a fix (which has also been applied to mainline) in http://client.linux-nfs.org/Linux-2.6.x/2.6.23-rc1/linux-2.6.23-001-fix_rpciod_down_race.dif Cheers Trond - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
