This happens to me on an SFS (secure NFS) server over slow connections. What's happening is almost surely that the client is re-establishing its connection to the server. It doesn't do it fast enough for you, and so you get an I/O error. When slow human you try again, it's already connected. On a really fast connection (ethernet) with an unloaded server, this doesn't happen to me. The remount appears to happen fast enough. Disclaimer, I haven't traced the client or server to confirm that this is what's happening. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
