List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is a reverse lookup? Anyway I did not change any settings. The NFS server has been working happily for the last year and a half. The only thing that changed was that the hardrive containing the data i want to share was not in the server because there were some bad sector problems. I copied the data onto another harddrive and inserted the new harddrive. I tried removing it again but still montd is crashing.
