Alright, so probably I'm missing something again, like in my previous post about mounting different subdirs in a filesystem (btw thanks to those who replied then, all replies have been most helpful). So.. Is there a way to cleanly shutdown (or reboot) a NFS-rooted workstation? rc.diskless2 MFS-mounts /var, and when init(8) tries to kill the running daemons, the /etc and /var mount_mfs's obstinately and rightly refuse to die - /etc has /etc/ttys in use, and /var has.. lots of files, most notably /var/db/mounttab. As a result, mount_mfs lives, init waits quite a while, tries to kill it with SIGKILL, fails again, and complains, advising a ps axl.. I wonder if there might be some kind of race condition here - some processes that received the SIGTERM, but not quite finished yet - but anyway, just how stupid would it be if I tried to teach the kernel to leave mount_mfs alone on a kill(-1, SIGTERM)? Would this break anything but init on shutdown? G'luck, Peter -- This sentence was in the past tense.
