In article <m0v37vz-000130C@rulcmc.leidenuniv.nl> you wrote: : However, sometimes (this seems to happen more often when there : is something going on on the network) a random programme started : on a system using an nfsroot filesystem will abort with a : "bus error", or signal 7. When restarting the programme it usualy : runs succesfully.
To those concerned: it turned out that this was a fairly old bug in unfsd's file handle cache. A fixed version (2.2beta23) is now available from ftp://ftp.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de:/pub/linux/okir . It should also fix some netgroup problems people have reported.
If people who have been seeing the above problems could please try it and tell me whether it works as expected. If it does, I'll finally release it as 2.3.
