I've spent several months fighting with my mythtv backend using NFS to mount a remote machine's disk, so I can copy files to the TV playback machine. Sadly, when the NFS mount goes stale, I cannot fix it without a reboot of the mythbox ... which currently is also my router. So as an addition to /data/STOP, I also include /data/GO -- if I cannot read the contents of /data/GO, the mount must be stale. I've since replaced that playback box with a real mythtv frontend. Not sure where I'll use the disk next. -jim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
