    hi there,
    
    is there anybody who can confirm this 'DoS' (nothing serious if the server
    is not too important ;)) :
    
    exporting a cdrom (say /CDROM) from an irix6.3 (gna) box to a linux box
    (blubb) (SuSE 6.0, kernel 2.0.36) can lead to a crash of the irix box.
    
    blubb:/> mount gna:/CDROM /mnt2
    blubb:/> cd /mnt2/foo/bar
    blubb:/> ls
    hihihi.rpm
    blubb:/> rpm -i hihihi.rpm
    and booom... gna goes down.
    
    (
    kernel fault: software detected SEGV
    NFS2 getattr failed for server /dev/scsi/sc0d4l0: Timed out
    )
    
    this effect is repeatable.
    can anybody try this on other OS versions
