Can you describe how you mount the nfs volume? I use an NFS automount on /home using atufs and experience no problem at all. But then again I also put in automatic timeouts? How long eo you wait before you decide that the umount fails? Sometimes I fine that my umount may take 2 to 3 minutes before. On some rare occasion 10 minutes. -- Joseph Loo [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
