Hello,

Is it legal to change ip address & mac address when working with NFS,
and after linux finished startup ?
It seems that in such case, NFS can get stuck, right?

I think yes, NFS can't tolerate changing IP, both in client and server side.

I remember it, well not exactly identical case, when my NFS server
dies. In that case, the NFS client box just hung....I guess it waited
for somekind of acknowledgment....but none coming. IMHO it gets worse
when you use "sync" option in NFS.
