Hello,

 

We have a filesystem which is shared by 4 Linux guests via NFS.  We have
been using this setup for quite some time.  Recently we've seen 2 cases
where access to the NFS file on 1 or more of the non-owning guests began
to slow down.  A "df" command on the effected system would stop before
the NFS file and hang for >10 seconds.  We've stopped all the tasks
using the file, unmounted, and remounted it, with the same result.  The
only way to resolve the problem was to shutdown and IPL the effected
Linux guest(s).  The owning guest, i.e. the one running the NFS server,
never had to be bounced.

 

The network setup used for these mounts is a Guest LAN.  Linux is SLES8
SP2, VM is V5.1.  We take all the defaults for rsize, wsize, etc. in
/etc/fstab for the mount.

 

/etc/fstab entry:

 

192.168.47.65:/xs2files /xs2files         nfs

 

If anyone has seen this scenario before, any insight would be much
appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

Hank Calzaretta
