I've only used nfs for a few months now (slowly trying to convert my house to 'doze free) and had no difficulty from day one. I've certainly never seen that message before and I have one machine that boots a couple times a day (mythtv with automatic booting weeee!). Which side does this show on? server or client? personally, I like nfs as it "just works" for me here. of course, this is all internal to my house ona trusted lan with no protections blah blah blah. > > >FWIW, I killed fam, and > > > >> things seem to be working more or less normally here.
