Re: [kvm-devel] NFS problems

Everything looked like it worked, but I run into the following problem: after serving a few pages ( 20) the machine gets into 0% user, 0% idle 100% wait and apache stop serving any page. I can kill most apache processes except two. ls and df on the nfs filesystem still works. I reboot the virtual box and try to run emerge (gentoo package management) that uses NFS heavily, and it hangs, and the machine is the state describe above. Shutting down the virtual box and replacing kvm v57 by kvm v28 fixes the problem. Anybody run into a comparable problem ?

I was usign rtl8020 (I think), anyway, not ne2k. I am now using rtl8139 and have the same problem. I am using the linux 8139too though, which I understand is old, I am trying to replace it with the newer one 8139cp, but have shoot myself in the foot by doing so on one of my vm :-) Anyway, same nfs issue with 8139cp and kvm 58.

Sorry I meant 8139too. I got my vm back up, and added 8139cp (had to select experimental driver), and nfs is working fine with kvm 58. I'm not sure what the usual (*buntu, fedorea, etc...) distros ship with, but I suspect 8139too, so it might be a good idea to add this one to the FAQ. Thanks. Yves.
