Preventing Shutdown on Active NFS Servers?
Ed Almos asks: "Like many Slashdot Readers, I run a small network at home with a server and a number of desktops. The server holds all our files as NFS shares and doubles as a desktop machine should the need arise. Problems however occur if the server is shut down whilst there are NFS shares in use, the minimum disruption is a crashed desktop and a couple of times I have had to deal with corrupted files. Does anyone know of a way to prevent shutdown of a machine if someone else has drives mounted to its NFS shares ? I have already explored use of the /etc/shutdown.allow file but all this does is determine who can kill the machine. The minimal solution would be something similar to a Microsoft Windows system, where a request to shutdown brings up a warning window that there are users connected to the system, but I am not sure how to achieve this on a Linux system. Ideally I would like to prevent shutdown of a system with active NFS shares altogether, or at least until the user has unmounted and logged off the network."
I've tried using proxies but I have never found one that Slashdot will allow me to post with. Anyway, I do agree, Taco should stop fucking 8-year-olds. He is never going to get to heaven with such actions. God will punish this sinner, and send him to the gates of hell. Undoubtably, I would picture hell for him, as a place with naked women, as one can only perceive from Cmdr. Taco's actions that he is 100% gay. Being gay is also a sin against the Lord, our God. Please find yourself a rehabilitation center immediatly. That is to say if you Jewish, because as we all know, only the Jewish will ascend to promise land of the after-life. If your not Jewish, well it's obvious your not part of the people chosen by God. You could pray to the Lord all you want, it just won't matter, your not going to heaven.
