Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... This happens when the underlying "block device" disappears, the most prominent case being ejecting the CD while the fs is still mounted. I have not seen it with nfs yet, since networked fs don't have any real backing device and instead provide either [waiting for reconnection] or -EIO, i.e. proper error handling. > -`J' -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
