My wild guess is that this has to do with executables paging themselves in = on=20 demand. In the NFS case, if the file disappears on the share, paging in wil= l=20 fail. However, on a local filesystem, the inode won't disappear until all=20 users are gone, so paging in on demand will still work. =2DRyan --nextPart2940733.JACh8xQHrO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBI+k5W4yVCW5p+qYRAiqDAKDHr1ZuVfg9+Sb7Ax+Yj6eMjGlOygCgtmL/ lL6JVaUe2FiKGTdIjzBNXoU= =A2f5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2940733.JACh8xQHrO--
