Re: NFS disconnects

 Thanks.  I will look into that. 

I have a related question: 

Does NFS have a limit on how big the partitions can be? Can I have an   
entire 750 GB drive exported as one partition?  I realize that's large   
but should be possible but the question is can NFS handle it currently?
