Hi Bruce, I see that setting the number of nfsd threads to 0 (echo 0 > /proc/fs/nfsd/threads) is not releasing the locks and putting the server in grace mode. What is the best way to go into grace period, in new version of the kernel, without restarting the nfs server? Thanks, Marc. -- 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
