Re: 2.1.95: freezes persist && NFS problem

Same here (reported this earlier, at first I suspected problems with
too old rpc's and mount programs, but they are updated and the problem
persists).

Mounting nfs drives will eventually work but unmounting during a
halt or reboot causes the system to lock up.

Seperate umounts (of partitions, nfs and cdrom) will just cause
that process to hang (also reported earlier by someone else).
Mounting and unmounting /dev/fd0 doesn't appear to be a problem.

There seem to be other funny filesystem related problems; when compiling
a new libc, gcc reports that some headerfiles (from linux and asm that
are symlinked to the kernel dist) cannot be found, but they are there....
They're just on a nfs partition.... Could this be related or is that
a diff problem?

Michel.
