Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try when I have time.  I was staying away
from using the NFS systems for cluster mode because I figured it would only
cause problems.  I hope the TCP mode will solve the lockup problem I've had.
I've used soft NFS for playback, but of course that doesn't really matter if
there's an error.
