Trond,

Will the client automatically remount or fix the mount
once the server comes back up? ie after the server
notifys the client, or does the client still have to restart
nfs?

Cheers
Dave

If the client and server both comply with the NFS standards, then the client
should never have to remount after a server reboot. rpc.statd exists purely
for the benefit of the NFS file locking.
