Weird thing is, the server hasn't come down. It was still up. However, I |
| 10 |
don't know why the client was reporting those messages. Perhaps it was |
| 11 |
failing intermitently, and OO has an issue with this and other apps don't, |
| 12 |
because the second after OO failed to open the file, I was able to open it |
| 13 |
in file-roller without a problem. |

Isn't nfs supposed to be THE network filesystem for unix machines? Using |
| 15 |
samba between unix machines when there's no real need seems a bit |
| 16 |
controversial for me :) |
