Help unable to shutdown- RPC problems

basically I get the following errors messages followed by a return to the prompt

# shutdown -i6 -g0 -y

Shutdown started. Tue Oct 1 09:47:03 BST 2002

Broadcast Message from root (pts/1) on hermione Tue Oct 1 09:47:04...
THE SYSTEM IS BEING SHUT DOWN NOW ! ! !
Log off now or risk your files being damaged

showmount: hermione: RPC: Program not registered
Changing to init state 6 - please wait

vviscomi,

This seems like an NFS problem. It could be that the server you are mounting from is off live or the nfsd is not running on it. Try

>showmount -e nfs.server.name

This sould give you all of the files that it is sharing. If you don;t see anything then the nfsd is down.

good luck
