I am seeing a warning message in the syslog.log.

WARNING: nfs3write: server wrote 32768, requested was 5073

Has any one seen this message before, or could point me in the right direction as to find an answer.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Tim,
can't find anything in the documentation, however:
1. It's a warning, not an error
2. The number 32768 smells like a blocksize to me.
Hope this helps at least a little bit.

Shalom,

This has to do with block size.

Hi,

It looks like the mis-match or in-compatibility of NFS3 protocol between server and client.

Not sure the kind of setup you have whether
unix-windows or unix-unix?

I would check the stats using
nfsstat -m
nfsstat -c
nfsstat -s
mount -v
ping -o -n 3
rpcinfo
nettl

I would verfiy the compatibility , do the upgrade or patching if required.

Thanks everyone for your input. I believe that I will pick up a manual form David Olker and see if there is anything in there to explain why this happened.

I only logged three of these errors and it happened when my system crashed. I also appologize for not mentioning that I am running on an rp7410 with HP-UX 11.11 Version 1.

Thanks again!

Hi Tim,

There is nothing in my NFS white papers or book to explain what you're seeing here.

If you still want to pursue this issue I'd be happy to help because I'm a bit curious why this would have happened. You'd probably need to open a new thread so that everyone feels free to post suggestions.

If you only see this warning when the server crashes then that might explain things, but it shouldn't happen under working conditions.

Regards,

Dave
