- We have a pool of four NeXTs. One netinfo-server, one clone server and two
- clients. All user accounts are network accounts. All home directories are nfs
- mounted on all machines.
- Now the problem is, that if one machine is overloaded and the nfs server is not
- responding, all machines are hanging (little disk icon turning) and nobody can
- work. (I'm not sure if it should read "nearly all" and "nearly nobody"). Even
- if I have a remote shell connection to a machine outside the pool, and the nfs
- server of the NeXT, where my home directory lives, doesn't respond, the rsh
- connection hangs.
- Is this behavior correct or is there something wrong with our installation?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Michael.
