Betreff: nfs creates unkillable process
remote box is a Red Hat 7.3 server I'm using to test web pages.
terminal is a Debian testing box.

I opened an nfs share on the rh box to myself so I could conveniently cd
in rather than ftp in. (everything is local and secure). The kicker
is: anything I do locks the process on my local machine, and the
process is not killable.

mount www.remote.com:/var/www dev
cp dev/html/index.html .

hung. Can not shut down my machine. Must hard-reset.

I'm hoping it's my machine's fault, this is a good excuse to try
upgrading the kernel (I just threw the box up with Debian defaults).
Any suggestions?
