- We have an HP750 running 8.07.
-
- When a machine (whose disks are NFS mounted) goes down,
- I can't do anything on the host machine until the machine
- with the NFS mounted disk comes back up.
-
- If I try to execute any command, such as pwd, I get a message like
- "NFS server coral not responding, still trying"
- and absolutely NOTHING happens. The prompt goes away and I
- am unable to cancel the command. Why does this happen and how
- can I prevent it ?
