Hi:

This would suggest a stale NFS mount.

Running 'bdf' without any arguments will scan ALL mountpoints, including NFS mounts. A 'bdf -l' will look at LOCAL, non-NFS, mounts only.

My guess would be that you have an NFS mount that is not responding for some reason.

I would check all NFS mounts and verify they are all working.

Hi,

We have 5 NFS mount point int is server.but I can access all mount point through cd command and see the files and directories...

Could you please help on this...

Thanks in Adv.

Curious. You say that bdf hangs without using the "local only" switch but you are able to cd to each of the NFS mounts and list the contents? Interesting.

Any chance you can post the contents of the /etc/fstab file and the output of the 'mount' command?

Are you using the automounter?

Do you use /net mounts?

Hi jeena,

have any changes done on the system so after that this problem started?

please check the log files for any error or event log and put /etc/fstab output for better analysis.

if you any old bdf output captured then it will help to understand the problem.

run bdf
check which file system its hung...you can see it in fstab
(filesystsem listing is same as in fstab untill and unless its changed earlier).

Then see /etc/mnttab file.

First check which file system is the troubled one then concentrate on that FS.

BR,

Hi,

You say, when you issue;

# bdf -l

it got stuck again ? if so,

check the system logs OR root mails ,
# less /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
# less /var/mail/root

On second though, you might have a flakky disk on your nfs server , go to nfs server and check the disks and any full disk.
