When I first brought up A/UX, shutdown was very quick. After I built
an NFS kernel, the "Unmounting file systems" part of shutdown started
taking a long time, say 55 seconds, during which time it would appear
to just hang. This delay comes after (quickly) unmounting any floppy
or NFS file system but before reporting that it has unmounted the root
filesystem.
Is this normal?
It should be noted that although my kernel is built for NFS, my
EtherTalk board has yet to arrive, so I don't have an ethernet card if
that makes a difference. My only test of NFS has been using "loop".

We have two machines connected to each other via thin ethernet, and one is an NFS server with the other using one of its disks. When I shutdown a machine, it spends an awful long time sitting there and occasionally rattling its disk. The other machine also rattles its disk at the same time. It eventually does what it wants, but then it gets kill process errors. IE, kill: PID 67 - no such process. The PID tends to be a number > 60 and < 80, and there are usually four such messages (each PID reported is unique). All of this appears to be of no consequence as nothing is damaged and shutdown otherwise completes its job normally. Any ideas?
