I finally tested the advice of someone in the forums who said that he could solve similar client-problems by using 'unfs3' instead of 'nfs- kernel-server' at the server side. Unfortunately it didn't help, so my client crashes no matter if there's 'nfs-kernel-server' or 'unfs3' running on the server.
I'm starting to get a bit desperate because I'm highly dependant on NFS (most of my files are on a fileserver and are acessed trough the network from different machines). Today I even had multiple crashes while trying to watch a movie file with a high bitrate via NFS. And actually I'm starting to lose hope, that the problem will be solved via this Bugreport. Can anyone give me any hint what else I could try? Is there a serious chance that the problem could be solved by replacing the switch or by using a new ethernet-card in the client? Are there any alternative nfs / kernel versions that I could try? Is there a way to limit the speed with which data is sent or received trough the network? (Since it seems, that the problem only appears when a high transfer rate is reached. And no: Just using a 100MBit Switch is NOT a solution because that's too slow.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661294 Title: System lock-up when receiving large files (big data amount) from NFS server -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
