vmware hanging

2001-07-23 Thread Barry Lustig
Vmware has started hanging on current versions of current. The binary start properly, but when I try and start one of my virtual machines the process hangs in "devbuf". The disk seems to access periodically. I tried ktracing the process but it didn't get very far. Has anyone seen this behavior

Hi, I found that after introduction of the new RPC NFS client is no longer able to recover from server crash (both cluent and server are 5-CURRENT systems). After a well known `nfs server not responding' message, client hangs and even though server comes back in a minute or two it doesn't recover
