On my messages, I only get that annoying nfs warning message that is common. What is strange is it is the LOCAL ROOT filesystem The NFS mounted filesystems work fine. I was surprised that everything seems to work well on root as long as it is not looking at the root filesystem filesystem type commands like df -h or ls Dell did a hardware diagnostic and said there is nothing in the hardware.
