Hi, I've encountered the the problem a few times now that directory listing in my home folder hung. The problem occurs when I shut down my test web-server which provides an nfs share mounted into a folder in my home directory. When an application tries to get the directory listing of my home folder it hangs until the server is online again. Umounting is not possible "device is busy...". The only way to get it fixed is to restart the system or bring the server back online. It's good that it's so fault tolerant and can restore the connection, but there should be a way to unmount the nfs share when the server is gone? Thanks, Stefan Kernel Messages: Jun 28 22:28:32 stefan-ubuntu-vm kernel: [ 1128.504018] ls D f5ea7ba0 0 27184 27093 Jun 28 22:28:32 stefan-ubuntu-vm kernel: [ 1128.504023] f5d26370 00000086 00000002
