Hello All,
I've been using NFS on stable (3.x, 4.x) for a while now, and when it
works, it seems to be fast and reliable. However, I've noticed that in
any case where it doesn't work (nfs server goes down, cable gets
disconnected, weird network card driver issues, etc), the client
machines seem to get stuck in an nfs-read state limbo of some sort. My
poor laptop was in this state for about 3 days and the daily run's (find
in particular) was hung (new hung "find" every day). If I could kill
these processes off, I probably wouldn't mind, but these processes
simply do not die (even kill -9), without a reboot. The worst part is,
while they are hung, I cannot unmount the NFS share (says it's being
used). The shutdown isn't clean either because it cannot kill them at
shutdown time. Is this normal behavior, and if so, how do I stop it from
happening?
If this is something I've misconfigured I can provide hardware and
config file details on request.
Thanks for any help :)
