I now find that when running e.g. more or vi there is a noticeable pause before anything appears on the screen. More of a problem is that my automounted (via amd) home directory fails to appear when doing an ls or anything else, although it is mounted and ls of small subdirectories works fine. The home directory has 221 entries and another subdirectory which fails has 162 (I know they're large but they should work!) If I ask for ls on these dirs, it just sits there for about 30 mins until a message /kernel: nfs server server:/path/path: not responding appears. If you then do ctrl-C you get a prompt back and can get an instant listing of the smaller directories. This is with both the GENERIC kernel and one -c'ed down to the minimum. The amd command line is similar to the default in sysconfig (just changed to use a NIS map). Neither problem (the pause or amd) was present when the machine ran 2.1.7.1 (I've swapped back on forth several times recently trying things). Anyone got any suggestions as to what's going on here? Cheers, Martin P.S. No comments about the hardware please! I know its far from optimal but the box is only for testing things. P.P.S. remove .nospam from return address to reply by e-mail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Sapsed Tel: +44 (0)1248 382409 Computing Lab Fax: +44 (0)1248 383826 University of Wales, Bangor "Who do you say I am?"
