I have been using NFS for years for all types/sizes of files and never had a problem until the last couple of months. 1. The Centos/RHEL 5.3/5.4 kernel had a serious bug that has been fixed with the latest kernel update 2. Now this F12 problem Surely a very large worldwide community uses NFS ? OK the F12 case could be my finger trouble or even a hardware problem I will install F12 on a second machine and test again (against the same server) Regards John -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
