Hi folks!
When a process tries to lstat64 a file on nfs and the reply is not
received it gets blocked forever. Should it be that way?
Please help,
Roland

If it's a hard nfs mount, yes. Mount soft if you want timeouts.

Yes. Unless you made the mount with -o soft. The box will wait until the server
comes back
