NFS Blues
I have a situation where there are two SCO R5 Open Server Unix boxes in a remote location. The two boxes are inter-related via NFS mounts. My problem occurs when one of the boxes goes down, the NFS relationship stops the remaining machine from carrying on, even though it would be able to do so if in stand alone mode. Therfore is it possible to add something to "disentangle" each machine from the other in the event of a shutdown ?

My new Pro Keyboard works great, but the power switch on the computer won't turn the computer on! It's an older model, a Revision D iMac (333), but I know I've used the computer-mounted power switch to power the machine down before. Am I missing something? (1 Reply)

NFSD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NFSD(8)
NAME
nfsd -- remote NFS server
SYNOPSIS
nfsd [-6rut] [-n num_threads]
DESCRIPTION
nfsd runs on a server machine to service NFS requests from client machines. At least one nfsd must be running for a machine to operate as a
server.
Unless otherwise specified, four servers for UDP transport are started.
The following options are available:
-r Register the NFS service with rpcbind(8) without creating any servers. This option can be used along with the -u or -t options to
re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.
-n Specifies how many server threads to create. The default is 4. A server should run enough threads to handle the maximum level of
concurrency from its clients.
-6 Listen to IPv6 requests as well as IPv4 requests. If IPv6 support is not available, nfsd will silently continue and just use IPv4.
-t Serve TCP NFS clients.
-u Serve UDP NFS clients.
For example, ``nfsd -t -u -n 6'' serves UDP and TCP transports using six threads.
nfsd listens for service requests at the port indicated in the NFS server specification; see Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC
1094 and NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification.
The nfsd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

The nfsd utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
