Bonjour,
I had a problem with a DS20E with Tru64unix 5.1 used as a NFS
client. It crashed when the nfs server was down.
It seems that it was due to the tcp option.
Thanks to Cath Coleman and Lucio Chiapetti for their answers.

Subject: NFS client and crash system
Hi,
I have a DS20 with Tru64 v5.1. This computer is a client of a Sun
server via nfs. The remote system is only providing the users
home directory. The system of the DS20 is on the local disk.
A few time ago, I have change my fstab: initially, I had something
like that:
/mnt/disk_at_remote /import/disk nfs rw,nosuid,bg 0 0
And now, it is:
/mnt/disk_at_remote /import/disk nfsv3 hard,tcp,rw,nosuid,bg 0 0
I use tcp because I was hoping it could give better results in
congestion states.
However, the DS20 is crashing when the nfs server is
down. Furthermore, a DEC 3000 with OSF v4.OE is mounting
the same disks. My fstab is :
/mnt/disk_at_remote /import/disk nfs hard,tcp,rw,nosuid,bg 0 0
This computer is never crashing when the nfs server is down.
Is there a specific problem with DEC-Sun-nfsv3 relationship ? Or
is it something weird in the Tru64 v5.1 kingdown ?
Thanks,
Thierry Chich
