I was using tcp,bg,soft,intr when this problem occurred. I do not know if apache was attempting to do a write or a read, but it seems that tcp,soft,intr was not sufficient to prevent the problem. I had the impression from your original message that you were not using "soft" and were asking if it's safe to use it. Are you saying that even with the "soft" option the apache gets stuck forever? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
