We are currently exporting our optical disk to a network of suns. Recently our
optical disk has been winding down a lot. It has been known to wind down 5 to 10
times in a row before it gets in sync. During this wind down period we get the usual
message over the net saying that nfs host not responding... etc.
We have tried reinitializing a different disk and the same thing happens. Also, the
disk is mounted directly in the /etc/fstab (and is also loaded into netinfo), so it isn't
mounted via the workspace manager.
Any clues??
Later,

Those are the exact symptoms that I have experienced with 3 bad optical drives from NeXT. At least get it checked out by the service center.
