- Some people here have 2 Sparcstation-2's, normally on our lab-wide
- ethernet, that they want to occasionally be on a "private net" to
- maximize the transfer rate between them.
-
- There are no unused Sbus slots in which to add additional ethernet
- cards, and they can't use an Sbus expansion chassis because the cards
- in the SS-2's won't work in them. So, the 2 systems are plugged into a
- twisted-pair ethernet hub that they can put into local mode to block
- out the outside net, and they've asked me to write a command (that does
- NOT involve rebooting anything) to shut down and start up the
- appropriate services.
-
- I'm looking for advice on how to shut down the NFS services. These
- systems are NFS clients (using the automounter), and one of them is an
- NFS server to about 5 other systems elsewhere on the net. I need to
- find a way to unmount filesystems even when they're in use, since all
- sorts of things (such as any command that uses getwd) break when a
- server of a mounted filesystem is inaccessible.
-
- Any ideas?
