With NFS the server and multiple clients can change files, however the server many not dismount/remount the physical file system with affecting the clients. Dismounting the physical file system will change the NFS handle which any active clients detect. The client will refuse to do anything because it has a stale map of where files are on the file system. Usually just unmount/remount on the client will fix this, so there was something seriously amiss on your server. Check your logs to see if the server had unmounted the file system due to errors. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
