Wild guess - NFS servers are running RHEL and using ext3 ? We used to have that problem with the 2 NFS servers for our 90 node cluster till we dumped RHEL, switched to Fedora and XFS and all our horrible NFS problems went away. Now it just works - and they are supporting another large-ish cluster (46 4xPPC64 nodes). cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03)9925 4751 - VPAC Deputy Systems Manager Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing http://www.vpac.org/ Bldg 91, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton South, VIC 3053, Australia _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
