Warning: The following is a somewhat vague report, given as a fyi. I
don't need a resolution on this problem, but wanted to report it.
NFS server: Sony VAIO PCG-505TS
uname -a:
FreeBSD anvil.village.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #569: Sat
Mar 10 13:17:30 MST 2001
(really Mar 3 current)
NFS client: PPro-200
uname -a
FreeBSD billy-club.village.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #59:
Sat Feb 24 14:49:35 MST 2001
The Sony VAIO has a ep0 (3C589E). It has 1 2.5" IDE drive.
The PPro has dc0: <82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> on pci0. It has a scsi
drive and an IDE drive.
I'm seeing about 100kbps on nfs read performance. When I try to copy
about 300MB of mp3s like so
mount laptop:/mp3 /mnt
cd /mnt/path/to/files
tar cf - . | (cd /mp3 ; tar xvf -)
After about 10 minutes of really bad network performance, the network
dies. All network traffic on the server gives errors with no buffers
available. netstat -m shows that there are plenty of mbufs available
(10% are used). I had to reboot to get the network back. The client
survived just fine.
I have no clue if I can reproduce this, but thought I'd let people
know there might be dragons here.
