Hi folks,

I'm having what appears to be an NFS problem (at least it's causing
one of my users headaches).  We have approximately 50 NFS mounts to
every desktop (NEC PowerMate V90s, BSDI BSD/OS 2.0).  Whenever
the NFS server reloads, one of my users gets all the NFS'd file
systems to that server mounted again.  This is causing him some
heartburn as he routinely has programs running via the old mount and
these processes hang.  His only option is a reboot.  Is this
considered "normal" behavior?  Here's an example mount:

host:/host/d29    /host/d29   nfs   rw,bg,intr,soft  0 0 

Any pointers/suggestions much appreciated.

Dave
