Greetings,

I have a 2.0.3X system with 174 days of uptime (yeay!). I brought it to
single-user mode to fsck some partitions, but somehow (I'm guessing the
automounter on it) nfsiod died in the process. The system is still running
and can NFS mount/be mounted without apparent illness. However, this
disturbs me:

root 4 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Aug 25 0:49 (nfsiod <zombie>)
root 5 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Aug 25 0:45 (nfsiod <zombie>)
root 6 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Aug 25 0:48 (nfsiod <zombie>)
root 7 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Aug 25 0:46 (nfsiod <zombie>)

Should I reboot this system once and for all?

thanks,
-bp
