I set up automounter and they stopped going stale. Alas, it's more complicated -- it's a SnapServer that's freezing up, we're working with Adaptec to try and fix it (seems to be some sort of java problem on device). I did an OS upgrade at 11pm last night, all was working well and then sometime after midnight it ate itself and froze the exported mounts. As a result, thousands of emails got deferred/queued (*) until I could bring the device back online. So, until we get this issue resolved on the device, I need to monitor the exports from a single client (the backup server where they're all mounted, a CentOS4 box) and send an email/sms when things die. -te (*) once again, exim saves the day. swiss army knife of the MTA world. -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com
