RE: high load ?

2005-04-06 Thread VK
So I had to reboot my (330 day uptime...) machine. I couldn't even cleanly shut it down, because the NFS unmount never finished. RH Magazine suggests some trick with rpciod, but I haven't tried it yet. http://www.redhat.com/magazine/005mar05/departments/tips_tricks/
