Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.0.10-4
I'm running Etch on an AMD64 system which connects via NFS to a server
running Sarge (i686). I can copy files from the server and the copy
chugs along at about 10 - 11 MB/Sec before completing. However, when I
copy files to the server, the speed goes up and down, sometimes as high
as 45MB/Sec before stalling. Usually it restarts and again goes to a
high value before stalling again. On other copies, it might simply go up
and down between 15 & 5 MB/Sec with few stalls.
Unfortunately, it sometimes doesn't restart after a stall. In fact, the
machine will start acting up. The problem seems to be network has locked
up. Anything needing the network locks up too.
I'm not having this problem copying files to a CIFS share on an XP
machine. And I didn't have it when I was running a 32bit system on the
same hardware. However, the problem persists whether I use Konqueror,
cp, mv or a program to copy files (such as a video editor to copy a
video file to the server).
I frequently copy batches of files running from hundreds of megabytes up
to a couple of gigabytes. The problem might not show up in small file
copying. However, I do get the lockup every gigabyte or two.
Once the lockup occurs, I can't even reboot my computer. When I initiate
the reboot in KDE, I get as far as the first "red" message after X shuts
down, then the computer hangs. All I can do at that point is hit the
reset button.
I can't find anything in my logs showing a problem - just the reboots. :(
