We have a redhat 7.3 nfs client that doesn't work well with an irix 6.5.14m nfs server. When a gnome user logs in, things are fine for about 5 minutes, but consistently, the network gets ground to dust after about 5 minutes or so.
We tried reverting to nfs v2, and that didn't help. The guy in charge of these machines is going to downgrade the redhat box to 7.2 to see if that fixes it. These two machines were fine with each other prior to the 7.3 upgrade, when the redhat was 7.2. Is anyone else seeing this sort of thing? Does anyone have any suggestions? Oh, BTW, ethereal reports -tons- of nearly identical fragmented UDP packets, not that it's easy to use ethereal when the subnet's getting beat up so badly. I suggested trying a 7.2 kernel on the 7.3 box, but the guy in charge of the box feels the enduser is too impatient to wait for that, and will grow angry if it doesn't work. -- Dan Stromberg UCI/NACS/DCS
