Hi,
I have a server running Mandrake 8.2. I had a problem unmounting a CDROM (I hate supermount!), so I rebooted the server. On the way back up, the NFS service hung. This is now the second time this has happened. (The first time, I attributed it to students messing with the server, and reinstalled everything.) Now, after two days of getting things back to normal, it's happened again, this time sans students.
Well, I discovered the state data is in 3 files in /var/lib/nfs. I booted single user, removed the files, and then did init 5. Worked like a champ. at http:www.tldp.org, I also found a good NFS HOWTO. Things are working just fine now. We now have 66 Mhz Power Macs running linux-2.4.19-rc2, using a root filesystem stashed on an Intel server, and running X applications (KDE 3.0.1, Mozilla 1.0) also on the server, but displaying results back on the Macs. With this setup, the Macs appear to be turbocharged -- much faster than running the same stuff natively. --Skip
