I have annoying news. Today I built a new computer which is also connected to the network and which should also be able to access the problematic NFS shares. When setting it up, I expected to possible results: Either it has the same problems as my other computer (which is: crashing when receiving lagre files via over NFS) or it doesn't have the problem. What I didn't expect was, that the new machine could have an even more annoying problem - but unfortunately exactly this is the case.
To be specific: My new machine only reaches transfer speeds of between 100kbit/s and 1Mbit/s (we're talking here about Gigabit Ethernet!) which of course makes the whole thing totally useless. Aditionally it seems to cause some overload in NFS so that the file manager not only in the new machine but also in the old machine (because the old one of course is still connected to the NFS shares) gets blockated. In other words: NFS with client A results in a crash of the client, NFS with client B results in terribly low speed and a blockade of all clients... I really don't know what to do or say anymore... after wasting a huge amount of time with the old problem and finally elaborating an only halfway satisfying workaround I add a new machine to the network and now I'm facing even bigger problems than ever before. -- 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
