But that sure is what it just did to me. I've been trying to get nfsd on OS/2 to work because Samba 3 is useless with OS/2. I finally succeeded in figuring out how to configure OS/2 so mount -t nfs would work with them on Linux. I had succeeded in mounting on Mandrake 2005, but the mount failed to actually allow any normal access like cd or ls, so I tried on SuSE 8.2. It too claimed it had successfully mounted, but my very first attempt to access the mount dir (from tty1) produced a total lockup, something I don't remember ever seeing happen on any Linux version. (Ctrl)-Alt-F[1-6] fails to produce any response whatsoever. :-( This is the fstab entry used: eCS:J /nfs/eCS/J nfs noauto,ro,nosuid,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 Anyone know if this is some bug that never got fixed in the 8.2 nfs client? -- "Love does not demand its own way." 1 Corinthians 13:5 Team OS/2 ** Reg.
