Last night I wrote about hanging my 1.2G box because my server (1.2F)
got buffer overruns in ed0.
[I'm not replying to that item because it hasn't reached here yet :-)]
I "solved" that by using TCP... However I noticed that when I mounted
a filesystem I'd get:
root:2# mount /share2
nfs server gate:/share: not responding
nfs server gate:/share: is alive again
root:3#
Every time.
If I let the P166 try and mount this fs at boot time (remove noauto)
from the fstab entry, I get:
nfs server gate:/share: not responding
and then the boot hangs. ^C will break out of rc and let you get a
shell, which then appears to wedge in the fs...
I'll try allowing the mounts to proceed in background but it should
not be necessary in this case. Ok I added -b,-2 and that seems to do
the trick.
