i don't have an /etc/sysconfig/nfs file on my system. evidently this is how one tunes the nfs server. have have the nfs-utils rpm. [root@fs2 init.d]# rpm -q -a | grep nfs nfs-utils-1.0.6-80.EL4 nfs-utils-lib-1.0.6-8.z1 i can't find anything that directly speaks of what can and can't be in this file. thanks. j. -- Jay Scott 512-835-3553 gl@arlut.utexas.edu Head of Sun Support, Sr. Operating Systems Specialist Applied Research Labs, Computer Science Div.

[snip] okay, that file looks just like the one i found on the net. but it looks incomplete in that there's no way to turn off nfs version 4. the answer is obvious enough, of course, but i'm wondering whether that file is out of date in other respects. anybody know? in other news -- i'm watching the log files. last night the server had hiccups every 2 hours. okay, 2 hours + a minute or two. hiccup == the client would say "not responding still trying" and then recover in maybe a 45-60 secs, something like that. what does THAT mean??? nothing is happening on two hour intervals that i can think of. it's not a cron job. j. -- Jay Scott 512-835-3553 gl@arlut.utexas.edu Head of Sun Support, Sr. Operating Systems Specialist Applied Research Labs, Computer Science Div.
