sfscd keeps unmounting nfs mounted directories. It does not say so in
the log but stopping sfscd also stops the random unmounts af the nfs
mounts.

I would debug it, but I know to little of sfs to do that. Does anyone
have any idea to either stop sfscd from randomly unmounting nfs mounts
or to help me debug this problem?

It is extremely annoying for sfscd to do that as it effectively
requires us to either stop sfscd (and thereby disabling sfs) or use a
keep-alive script (it will perform an ls in the nfs mount a regular
intervals which stops sfscd from unmounting it). Both solutions are
bad solutions :-( We'd prefer to solve this problem...

I have tried with the latest (march 8. 2005) cvs version (0.8pre) and
with 0.7.2 as well.

Thanks,
