I am doing some tests on a kickstart install of RHEL4 and discovered a problem with my NFS server, after a large amount of data being transferred it will lock up the ethernet interface and refuse to talk to the NFS client until the interface has been deconfigured with "ifconfig down" and then configured again. When this problem occurs it stops the install (as expected), but it also stops the mouse cursor from moving. This seems to be a bug to me, the X server should not be accessing files on the NFS server (as far as I am aware) and therefore there is no good cause for the mouse cursor to stop. Once the NFS server starts responding again the install proceeds and the mouse cursor responds. Is this considered to be working as designed or is it a bug? -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
