Hi! I recently started using th 2.4.0 series of kernels: test11, test12, prerelease and 2.4.0 on a woody system. With all of them, as well as with 2.2.18, I have problems accessing our SGI NFS server. 2.2.17 seems to work flawlessly.
Every now and then, usually when attempting an NFS write, the operation would freeze and would stay frozen for about a minute or two. Then everything would continue normally until the next freeze. The kernel reports something like the following: nfs: server XXXXXX not responding, still trying nfs: task YYY can't get a request slot. nfs: server XXXXXX OK It does not seem to matter if I use NFS v2 or 3 or of I use NFS compiled in or as a module. Does anyone else have similar problems? feri.
