Hi,
I have a Linux box as an NFS server and a FreeBSD box which acts as an
NFS client. If I explicitly shutdown the NFS services in the Linux box,
actions like 'df', 'ls /mnt' (/mnt is the mount point of the remote
directory), or even 'umount /mnt', in the FreeBSD box, seem to lock forever.
I waited for about 20-25 mins, I got a 'server not responding' message, but
the processes were still locked and I could not even kill them.
I started again the NFS services in the Linux box and I got a 'server alive'
message in the FreeBSD box, after about 10 mins.
Is that the correct behaviour? I had a look over /sys/nfs/nfs.h and the
configuration constants seem perfectly resonable. I would like to help
solving the problem, if it is an actual one. Otherwise, my apologies for
taking your time.
FreeBSD box:
