What can be the cause for this problem? What should I check/change ?

[F Verschuren]

Pls check the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf for below parameter,

NUM_NFSD=16
NUM_NFSIOD=16

==================================
OR better post nfsconf here

[Subentu]

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=16
NUM_NFSIOD=18
PCNFS_SERVER=0


nfsconf is attached.

does nfs works? if not check you resolving

[Subentu]

nfs works. Its only that some applications that run on nfs mounted systems get hanged when the error comes.

Hi Subentu ..


You need to detail your problem. So we could undertand exacly were could be the error.


So you need to tell. What is your server ( model o.s. name ) What is your client ( model o.s. name ).

The NFS hangs ( start now or always have this strange bievior ) .

Please post more details then maybe we can help.

With that information, I advice to do a restart to the NFS services and see if the problem maintains.

Hi Subentu,

From your logs I think it's a stale NFS which you get in every now and then, and then it comes back. Check your network connection to that NFS server, maybe the flapping is there.
