IF you cannot reproduce - I can send the complete boot process text but this is unlikely Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a NFS Server without NFS V4 2. Configure a NFS Client without NFS V4 on a different PC 3. Shut-down the PC that has the NFS Server Configured 4. Restart the PC that has the NFS Client. The boot Process of this PC is as follows Eth1 IP address: 10.10.10.2/8 (MLTIVAC-010) (autoip) already configured eth1 Settng up service (localfs) Re-Starting syslog services Mount CIFS File System Starting rpcbind Starting auditd Starting kernel bases NFS server: mountd statd nfsd sm-notify Starting NFS client services: sm-notify Actual Results: After sm-notify is loaded, if it cannot find its NFS Server the boot process will hang indefinitely - There is NO Time-Out! Expected Results: With or Without locating a PC's NFS Corresponding Server the boot process should proceed as normal and NOT hang indefinitely! Currently the NFS Client PC is totally useless if it cannot locate its NFS Server via sm-notify - There is NO time out for sm-notify and the PC remains hug and virtually unusable. The PC running sm-notify us rendered useless in the above common situation -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
