The systems that have the NFS export mounted can no longer do even a simple ‘ls’, they just hang. Unmounting and remounting the NFS export or rebooting the client system does resolve the issue, but I was curious if I switched to iSCSI if I would experience the same issue? I know the easy answer is to mount the NFS directly off the SAN (EMC) but I was told that the storage team would not create NFS exports for me. I was also looking at using autofs for the NFS mounts instead of putting them in the fstab file.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Just curious if anyone else had any advice.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">/Raj<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
