Thanks in advance for any constructive replies. Consider the following scenario ... 1. A process that uses file in a auto-mounted place (e.g. a shell that its current directory is /home/students/david where /home/students is an auto mount point). 2. The process went to sleep / suspended 3. Meanwhile the fileserver went down and of course /home/students is not available for anyone. 4. After sometime fileserver comes up again ... In this point /home/students is still unavailable until the process above is continues or is killed. Usually these processes are hard to locate and need manual action. Is it a problem with amd in general or with version ? % amd -v Copyright (c) 1990 Jan-Simon Pendry Copyright (c) 1990 Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine Copyright (c) 1990 The Regents of the University of California. amd 5.2.1.12 of 91/04/05 22:40:03 5.3Alpha12 #0: Sun Oct 27 15:35:47 IST 1991 Built by yedidya@sunblast for a sun4 running sos4 (big-endian).
