But I don't think it's the case here, unless mountd has a life of its own. Furthermore, rsync works without a glitch when mounted nfs/tcp. thanks, danny ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

NFS problems
I upgraded 9 of my systems to RELENG_5 on Oct 29 and 30. Now none of them can do a dump to an NFS mounted directory. the NFS connection is made, because the dump file is created on the NFS directory, but it stays at 0 bytes. The system that is doing the dump hangs after: oregon root:#>dump -0auf - usr > /host/backup.etv.net/back/oregon.etv.net._usr.2005-11-03.level-0 DUMP: WARNING: should use -L when dumping live read-write filesystems!

Re: Weird NFS problems
Try switching to TCP NFS. a 100MBit interface cannot keep up with a 1GBit interface in a bridge configuration. Therefore, in the long run, at full-bore you'd expect to drop 9 out of every 10 ethernet frames. MTU is 1500 therefore 1K works (it fits in one frame), 2K doesn't (your NFS transactions are split across frames, one of which will almost certainly be dropped, it's UDP so the loss of one frame invalidates the whole transaction). This is the same reason you can't use UDP with a block size greater than MTU to use NFS over your DSL or some such arrangement. Incidentially, this has nothing to do with FreeBSD. So if using TCP mounts solves your problem, don't expect Solaris NFS to magically make the UDP case work... -Jon On Fri, 27 May 2005, Don Lewis wrote: > On 26 May, Skylar Thompson wrote: > > I'm having some problems with NFS serving on a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE > > machine.

Weird NFS problems
I'm having some problems with NFS serving on a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE machine. The FreeBSD machine is the NFS/NIS server for a group of four Linux clusters. The network archictecture looks like this: 234/24 234/24 Cluster 1 ---|--- Cluster 3 | --- em0| File server | fxp0 | -- Cluster 2 ---|--- Cluster 4 234/24230/24 em0 and fxp0 are bridged, and em0 has a 234/24 IP address while fxp0 is just in promiscuous mode. 234/24 is an 802.1q VLAN on the fxp0 side of the server, so packets are untagged at the switch just before fxp0, and are forwarded to em0 through the bridge. The problem manifests itself in large UDP NFS requests from Clusters 3 and 4. The export can be mounted fine from both those clusters, and small transfers such as with ls work fine, but the moment any serious data transfer starts, the entire mount just hangs. Running ethereal on the file server shows a a lot of fragmented packets, and RPC retransmissions on just a single request. Reducing the read and write NFS buffers on the Linux clients to 1kB from the default of 4kB solves the issue, but kills the transfer rate. The moment I go to 2kB, the problem reappearss. Clusters 1 and 2 use the default of 4kB buffers, and have no problems communicating to em0. Poking through the list archives, I ran across this message (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2003-May/001007.html) that reveals a bug in the fxp(4) driver in 4-RELEASE that incorrectly detects the capabilities of the NIC. Is this still an issue in 5-RELEASE, or am I looking at a different problem? Any ideas on how I can get the NFS buffers up to a reasonable level? -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

ADDITION: NFS problems in 4.5-PRERELEASE
I actually wanted to go to bed after posting my 4.5-PRE NFS problems message, however, before I actually did that I ran a fsck on the NFS server from which the filesystem causing the problems gets exported. The fsck reported some inconsistencies (though the fs was not exactly marked as dirty). I guess this may actually have had something to do with the problem I reported. I'll let fsck repair the problems and see if I can then successfully do my NFS copy. That will, however, happen tomorrow - I don't think that I can do anything useful at 1:00 am. Good night (this time really!)

NFS problems in 4.5-PRERELEASE
Hi folks, I will do some more research on this problem myself tomorrow (it's fairly late here), but I thought I might already post a message about this today: >From what I have read, the fixes to the NFS problems that Jordan mentioned at the beginning of last week are by now in RELENG_4. However, a updated system (world, kernel) as of this morning causes me serious headache. There seems to be an NFS problem, but it's highly strange in nature, and I have not yet been able to figure it out. Anyway, here's what happens: I copied /usr/src, /usr/obj and /usr/ports from one machine to another via NFS. src and obj are fairly normal, ports included about 300 MB worth of distfiles besides the ports skeleton itself. Now, the NFS copy of src and ports does *always* work (I tried 10 times), while copying ports seems to crash my NFS client in 2 out of three cases. The exact panic message I get (which is probably not that useful by itself, but I'll post it anyway) is this: Fatal Trap 12: Page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xe8 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc01b61cc stack pointer = 0x10:0xe1c73cb8 frame pointer = 0x10:0xe1c73cd4 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 367 (cp) interrupt mask = none trap number = 12 panic: page fault And now it gets interesting: This crash does *not* occur randomly, but as my tests have shown, it occurs *always* when /usr/ports/japanese/mnews is being copied (as shown by cp -v). To prevent misunderstandings, let me reword this: The problem seems to occur 2 out of 3 times, but *when* it occurs, then always at japanese/mnews, i.e. always when copying the same file. This fact is it that makes me believe that it's actually a bug in the code and not some hardware / random problem with my machine (if it were, it surely wouldn't occur just at the same file every time...) If anyone has any suggestions as far as this problem is concerned, I'd be glad to hear about it. I'll do some research on this tomorrow and post any interesting results. I may want to set my system up to take crash dump, but before I do that, I'll probably try to find out if there's a pattern somewhere, i.e. if I can crash my machine by *just* copying japanese/mnews, or if I can successfully do several copy attempts of /usr/ports when leaving japanese/mnews out...

NFS Problems
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.

NFS problems
Dear -stable Users, I would greatly appreciate any help with the following problem. I have a FreeBSD NFS server (3.2-STABLE, built on Aug 3), and a Solaris 2.7 client. I run into problems when trying to use NFSv3 mounts on the client. Trying to remove files from the mounted partition (on the nfs client) results in multiple errors, for example: # rm -r /home/2/vladimir rm: Unable to remove directory /home/2/vladimir/CVS/blowup/c: File exists rm: Unable to remove directory /home/2/vladimir/CVS/blowup: File exists rm: Unable to remove directory /home/2/vladimir/CVS/useradd: File exists I have tried using tcp and udp mount options with the same result. NFSv2 works fine. Solaris client has the latest patches applied. I would very much appreciate any comments on that. Also, the client logs: Aug 21 02:20:59 newton.math.uic.edu statd[163]: statd: cannot talk to statd at galileo, RPC: Procedure unavailable(10) Aug 21 02:20:59 newton.math.uic.edu statd[163]: statd: cannot talk to statd at galileo, RPC: Procedure unavailable(10) rpc.statd is running on the server, rpcinfo -p output: # rpcinfo -p galileo program vers proto port service 102 tcp111 rpcbind 102 udp111 rpcbind 172 udp 1022 ypbind 172 tcp 1023 ypbind 153 udp 1018 mountd 153 tcp 1022 mountd 151 udp 1018 mountd 151 tcp 1022 mountd 132 udp 2049 nfs 133 udp 2049 nfs 132 tcp 2049 nfs 133 tcp 2049 nfs 1000211 udp 1005 nlockmgr 1000213 udp 1005 nlockmgr 1000211 tcp 1021 nlockmgr 1000213 tcp 1021 nlockmgr 1000241 udp999 status 1000241 tcp 1020 status 1000111 udp 1028 rquotad This is just a minor annoyance, but if someone could provide a solution, I will be very grateful.
