When using NFS roots you haven't seen any hung clients? I was getting a lot of those, got rid of a lot of the hangs by using the /dev/urandom workaround, but still got a few after that, attributed to a long-lived Linux NFS client kernel bug. See these threads: 05 May 2004: xenolinux /dev/random 12 May 2004: Xen hangs with NFS root under high loads I'm sure 1.3 fixes the first, but what about the second? Steve -- Stephen G.
