NFS Troubles Continued...

1999-03-05 Thread RT
Yesterday being daring I installed SoftUpdates.  Works great locally, but
now I find that my NFS problems occur more often.  I've also removed the
ne2000 cards from my system (as someone told me they may be causing network
traffic problems).  The 3coms remain in the server.

On the client machine.  I tried to compile a program (which consistently
locks up in the configure program when locating the X headers).  After this
locked up, I then attempted to copy files from the same NFS mount to another
place on that mount.

PidUserName   Pri  Nice   Size  Res   State   Time  Wcpu   cpu
Command
1073 dark  -20844k  468k getblk  0:00   0.00% 0.00%
imake
128   dark   20208k  80k sbwait  0:00   0.00% 0.00%
nfsiod
1097 dark  -50308k  136k nfsfsy  0:00   0.00% 0.00%
cp

Please note, I have 6 nfsiod sessions going (started with the appropriate
flags).   The others weren't doing anything interesting.

The NFS mount is still readable, it is not writable.   This occurrence did
not make a .nfs## file on server or client.  If someone (appropriate)
wants to test this out themselves, I can give root access on both the server
and a client machine (via ssh shell).

Problem occurred with 3.0-release, 3-stable, and 4-current (tested up to
last weekends image).

Is this on 4.x or 3.x?

Matt Dillon has been working on softupdates/NFS interactions.
if 4.x then he has changes that may help all this..
some will be back ported to 3.x when I get to it..

This feels like something new but until the VFS/BIO/NFS patches are 
committed to -4.x it isn't possible to tell.  It could be a lost buffer
due to the nfs B_DONE bug. 

We know that there are almost certainly still problems with NFS related
to sillyrename and/or if the server modifies files directly.
