NFS book recommendation

Well, I've almost given up on getting NFS to work - OSX server and Linux 
client.  I've googled until I'm blind.  I even tried reaching the 
nfs-client maintainer, but kept getting 403's.  I've narrowed the problem 
(I think) to READDIRPLUS - tracking through ethereal, it seems that's 
where the error lies.  So, any recommendations on a good book that covers 
NFS?  Thanks.

The O'Reilly book is good, but the Sybex one is more relevant, IMHO, to
Linux. YMMV.

I have "Managing NFS and NIS" (O'Reilly) by Hal Stern, Mike Eisler, and
Ricardo Labiaga. ISBN is 1-56592-510-6

I haven't looked at Erek's book, do you think its better Kurt?

Cheers,

Shawn

I gave a 0 as I don't understand the joke at all.

ext3fs problem, 2nd call for help

ok, linux experts. I got a question.

when my linux shutdown abnormally (owning to sudden loss of electricity
in my apartment), the linux would always produce a login prompt on the
first boot-up after the power failure. I had to key in the root
password, run `fsck`, `poweroff -n`, and CTRL-ALT-DEL.

However, when the ext3 partitions were mounted, it would say soemting
like "error would be corrected on next remount".

What's happening? What should I do to avoid that problem?

Was the error corrected on the next remount? or has that message
appeared since?

Boot into single user mode, mount the ext3 partition as ro and run fsck.ext3 
across it... then reboot as normal.
