That will work, but it is pretty heavy handed, and "umount -l" is almost always necessary because something, somewhere, on the system is always referencing the remote file and it will refuse a normal "umount" (and umount -f has to time out for hours before it forces the unmount). I get this crap all them time when a symlink changes on the server, and the client doesn't see the change (which isn't supposed to be a problem, but is). Usually removing the symlink, doing an "ls -lL' on the client to convince it that it is gone, then recreating it on the server works. I've never been able to understand how it is that NFS is so widely used, yet so broken. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
