In my continuing efforts to get this freebsd box into shape for
web hosting at my company (where it relies exclusively on NFS for
retrieving customer data) I've been making progress thanks to some recent
commits by Peter. Now I can run the heavy duty NFS access script and it
completes its mission about 2 out of 3 times. Also, now when it fails it
doesn't lock the whole box, just amd. Still not where I want it to be, but
it is definitely big progress. :)
What happens when it hangs is that amd becomes totally wedged. I
cannot do 'df' or 'ls /' at all (the amd mountpoints are on /), and
killing the amd process is no help; I have to reboot the box. Ktrace'ing
amd at this point gets me nothing. The ktrace process just dies and leaves
a 0 byte ktrace.out file. (BTW, I am also still having problems with
ktrace exiting while the process is still running when I actually get it
to attach, if anyone cares.)
The one thing that I was able to do recently was to get amq to
dump a core file. I tried running amq while the amd process was wedged and
when it didn't return I killed it with a ^\ command. The trace was kind of
interesting:
Core was generated by `amq'.
Program terminated with signal 3, Quit.

I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I still have the core
file so if anyone wants to look into this I'll be glad to do what I can.
The amd conf files are below, any insights or suggestions welcome.
