One of our machines has been down with a disk problem for a few days, and therefore the partitions that were NFS-mounted on that machine are unavailable to the other machines using the same NFS filesystem. I have typed "df" a few times to look at the filesystem usage and while it gives me the prompt back at the end of the output, it later responds that the other machines's NFS server is dead, and keeps trying. We now have several "df" processes running and raising the load average quite obnoxiously, and I don't know how to get rid of them. Kill or kill -9 doesn't work. Suggestions? SunOS 4.0.3, Sun 3/160. -- This is news. This is your | Peter Scott, NASA/JPL/Caltech brain on news. Any questions? | (pjs@aristotle.jpl.nasa.gov)
