Hi Trond- We (Oracle) had another (fairly rare) instance of a weekend maintenance window where an NFS server's IP address changed while there were mounted clients. It brought up the issue again of how we (the Linux NFS community) would like to deal with cases where a client administrator has to deal with a moribund mount (like that alliteration :-). Does remounting with "soft" work today? That seems like the most direct way to deal with this particular situation. -- Chuck Lever
