I'm exporting a whole partition to a client. Using (rw,no_root_squash,sync, no_subtree_check), when I shutdown the server _before_ the client, the filesystem on the partion becomes corrupted. When I user async, it doesn't happen. Is this normal? The exports manpage suggests that 'sync' is the better option. Thanks. Chris. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
