It isn't OpenSolaris. It's Solaris 10. Unless you're using OpenSolaris, I doubt you'll get much help from here. Though there are a lot of docs on debugging these kind of problems on Solaris/OpenSolaris so you may be able to do that. DTrace has NFS providers which you can use to check what's wrong with nfs server. Typically we go about finding these kind of problems by running traditional tools like vmstat , iostat and intrstat and see what happens till the freeze. - mritun PS: I remember that an old OpenSolaris build had a zfs bug (?) where ARC was too aggressive on memory/caching and basically starves other processes of memory. I think it also went in one of the Solaris 10 updates (U2??) It has long been fixed. So may be the fix is to just upgrade to latest release. This message posted from opensolaris.org
