Hi, I have been having some problems recently with our NFS setup. My Linux clients seem to hang for several minutes and I can't figure out what is causing the problem. I know the "can't get a request slot" and "server not responding" errors which are appearing in our logs indicate a network problem due to RPC timeouts, but, the NFS server does not seem to be overloaded and the NFS mounts to Solaris boxes on the same network are not having trouble. Our NFS server is running Solaris 8 and the clients are RH Linux 7.1. I am running 2.4.9-12 kernel and nfs-utils-0.3.1-13, both from Redhat on the client.
I have "direct" nfs mounts in /etc/fstab with options rw,nodev,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,actimeo=10 I also have an autofs entry (/home) with options rw,nodev,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=10 How can I tell what mount is causing the hang? Any other troubleshooting suggestions? I am still not able to reproduce the problem on demand but it is occurring several times a day. Thanks in advance for any help. Please reply to me as well as the list.
