Or? This would be SLES10 - correct? I suggest you simply make sure /var/lib/nfs/state is not missing at startup. The issue sounds vaguely familiar ... maybe it is fixed in SLES10-SP4... What release are you running? Are you a SLES customer? If you are, you would be better off logging a support request on the SUSE bugzilla (bugzilla.novell.com). NeilBrown
