Hi all, just an informal note to see if there's significance to nfs hanging my machine when I'm pulling files from it (using urpmi to update another workstation). Works for a while, then hangs, requiring a reboot. Just as an indicator of severity, the hangs occur after only 20-40 files have been updated on the workstation.
This only seems to happen when I'm using an SMP kernel. I have kernel-2.4.22.4mdk-1-1mdk and kernel-smp-2.4.22.4mdk-1-1mdk, as well as nfs-utils-1.0.5-1mdk. My machine is a dual PII-450 on a Gigabyte BX-D motherboard (turns five years old in October!!!). It has 256MB RAM. There is *no* dust in the system, and there is very adequate air circulation within the case, so it's not a temperature related issue. Oh, and my NIC is Davicom-equipped. Please let me know how to provide the appropriate low level diagnostic info. Cheers, Paul.
