We are currently exporting our optical disk to a network of suns.  Recently our 
optical disk has been winding down a lot.  It has been known to wind down 5 to 10 
times in a row before it gets in sync.  During this wind down period we get the usual
message over the net saying that nfs host not responding... etc.  

We have tried reinitializing a different disk and the same thing happens.  Also, the
disk is mounted directly in the /etc/fstab (and is also loaded into netinfo), so it isn't
mounted via the workspace manager.  

Any clues??

  Later,
