If so what version? I have been working with the whole series but my main usage case does not use nfs/autofs (see next paragraphs). I have noticed that the problem does not appear to happen when I cd into an nfs automounted directory directly. It appears to happen only when listing the contents of a mount point (ie: when "/whatever/" is an autofs mount point where several directories are mounted, not necessarily from the same server). Before switching to Fedora 12 users were normally running 2.6.29 rt and I had been running 2.6.31.x and 2.6.33.x rt, but I don't think it ever happened to me personally (I'm always using the command line - this is completely reproducible with nautilus). After the switch it started happening almost immediately to regular users (using nautilus mostly). How could I try to get more debugging information? -- Fernando -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
