Hmm, interesting... nfs servers don't open files (nfsv4 has an Open, but it is really a type of file lock and not a POSIX like open). My thought is that it might be doing a lot of reconnects and ending up with lots of sockets on the server? You could take a look at "netstat -a" on the server box while this is happenning and see if there are lots of connections from the client (or switch to using UDP and see if that makes the problem go away). One of the problems in an NFS client using TCP is deciding how long to wait for a response on a TCP connection before giving up and creating a new connection. The really old BSD code waited until the TCP layer decided the connection was dead, but that could take a very long time. My current client (not what is in DragonflyBSD) waits 1 minute, which seems to be working out pretty well, but... Good luck with it, rick
