It shouldn't kernel panic, but it also won't connect with the existing mount, and IIRC you can't do anything on the server side to make it do so once it gets stuck. You'd have to reboot the server or possibly do a umount -l -f and then mount again. -Greg > > Thanks > ---------------- > Robert LeBlanc > PGP Fingerprint 79A2 9CA4 6CC4 45DD A904 C70E E654 3BB2 FA62 B9F1 > > > On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 7:37 PM Robert LeBlanc <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Thanks guys.
