    All,

    A long time ago (3.x days?), whenver I rebooted an NFS server, all the
    client machines with mounted filesystems would completely freak out.
    I'm not talking about application errors, but that the nfs mounts were
    totally unresponsive. I couldn't unmount the filesystems and I couldn't
    remount them, the only thing I could do, was to force a reboot on the
    client boxes, after which, they would come up and mount their
    filesystems without issue.

    I'm looking again, at using NFS for my mail server setup, but need to
    know what the ramifications are if I need to reboot the NFS server, or
    if it's forced to reboot without the clients first dismounting any
    filesystems.

    Thanks,
