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.

Cheers,
Lew Lefton
