My NFS server crashed last night and one of the clients appeared to lose networking shortly after it came back up. While the server was down I got lots of messages on the client:
kernel: nfs: task <number> can't get a request slot then after the server came back up I got lots of: kernel: statd: server localhost not responding, timed out kernel: lockd: cannot monitor <server IP> kernel: lockd: failed to monitor <server IP> I tried rebooting the client using the GDM menu but nothing happened. Ctrl-Alt-Del on a text console produced the message "shutdown: already running" and nothing else. I couldn't log in because I use LDAP accounts and even logging in as a file-based account times out waiting for the LDAP server. I've set "bind_timelimit 3" in /etc/ldap.conf to try to fix this next time (does that work?). I finally had to power cycle the client. Why does the client lose networking? Is it the network card (AMD 79c970 PCnet LANCE rev 68)? If so what should I use instead?
