I´ve just set up my file server to do NFS to make life easier in keeping track of data (I use Linux/windows, Mac & laptop boxes all together at home), and I have one last point where there seem to be conflicting views:
The server is not always available (have to shut it down at night or nobody gets much sleep!!), and the laptop is obviously not always connected to the server. The NFS Howto seems to be extremely clear on using rw,hard,intr 0 0 as options in /etc/fstab But others on this list have mooted that soft mounts might be better in my situation If anybody could point out the advantages and drawbacks of either, I´d be most grateful. Also, are there any issues with using the XFS file system and NFS together? cheers -- john in sydney Mandrake Linux 9.1, Kernel version: 2.4.21-0.25mdk OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/3E4A902F B38A AB0F 8658 D9E1 4900 3050 08FA D4FA 3E4A 902F
