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. I'm writing this from home, as the school's link to the Internet is down. Anyone know where the relevant state data for NFS is stashed? Thanks, Skip

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
