The originial question was:>

I received some answering indicating that the replica should work,
and explaining how to set it up correctly.
I installed it again following the manual instructions, and I found
out that the replica worked as expected. However, the workstation
hanged because it kept trying to get the NFS mounted file systems
(the already mounted ones).
Any suggestion for that new problem?

Thanks and regards,
