It doesn't fix it -- it's an ugly workaround -- but it works to keep them mounted. I don't know of an elegant solution if the NFS server goes away. I've seen it hang the clients until they timeout. Maybe an NFS expert on the list will be able to provide a better solution. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
