Hi I have 2 boxes, 1 is my nfs server - which hold all my home directories, the other is a processing machine, which loads the users home directories via nfs
my mount in the fstab
hufpuf.hme1.samad.com.au:/home/alex /home/alex
nfs rw,auto,noatime,nouser,async,nodev,suid,_netdev,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
0 0
what happens is after a while the nfs get locked and I get these in dmesg
nfs: server hufpuf.hme1.samad.com.au not responding, still trying
nfs: server hufpuf.hme1.samad.com.au not responding, still trying
nfs: server hufpuf.hme1.samad.com.au not responding, still trying
nfs: server hufpuf.hme1.samad.com.au OK
nfs: server hufpuf.hme1.samad.com.au OK
nfs: server hufpuf.hme1.samad.com.au OK
the only way to unlock it is to restart the nfs server and then everything
starts working fine ???? one other thing that is different is I have an mtu of
9100 between these to servers, but I have had this in place for a while.
these are the packages installed on the server
ii nfs-common 1:1.1.0-11 NFS support files
common to client and server
ii nfs-kernel-server 1:1.1.0-11 support for NFS
kernel server
and on the client
ii nfs-common 1:1.1.0-11 NFS support files
common to client and server
ii nfs-kernel-server 1:1.1.0-11 support for NFS
kernel server
I am not sure where to start looking first as the client machine locks up hard
till I restart the nfs........
