hi all, I've been getting this message in syslog every few minutes for a few weeks now : myserver rpc.statd[10595]: Received erroneous SM_UNMON request from myserver for anotherserver (which is an nfs client for myserver) I did some search and saw that it could be a mode problem for /var/lib/nfs/sm* directories so I chmod 777 and no change . . . Apart from the message there didn't seem to be any real problem so I put it aside for later. But this morning (for the 4th time in 3 days) my nfs clients were virtually unable to access files on their nfs mounts (it was veeerrry slow) and I had messages in kern.log : Apr 23 07:03:03 myserver kernel: statd: server localhost not responding, timed out Apr 23 07:03:03 myserver kernel: nsm_mon_unmon: rpc failed, status=-5 Apr 23 07:03:03 myserver kernel: lockd: cannot monitor 172.20.22.11
localhost seems to be fine so does access to 172.20.22.11. the only solution I've found was /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart I'm using 2.4.18-686-smp. Any suggestions appreciated . . . _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
