One more thing, before you do anything else you should attempt to prove to
yourself that this isn't a hardware problem. I implied that in my initial
response, but thought I should explicitly state it.
What happens if you put all-new memory in the server machine? Is this
reproducible on another machine?

Subject: RE: MFS through NFS
What are you most concerned with, the NFS server reboot or the stale file
handle on the NFS clients? They're two different problems. I'd focus on the
first.
Any time FreeBSD spontaneously reboots and it isn't a hardware problem then
it's probably a kernel bug.
You don't mention which version of FreeBSD, which NFS version (1 or 2), or
the transport (TCP or UDP) you're using. That information is necessary to
reproduce the problem.
If you can provide a very detailed description of the problem (including OS
versions on both sides, NFS export configuration, NFS mount options,
automounter configuration, description of the type of file access the client
is doing, sample client code which always crashes the NFS server, etc.),
then you should send it to freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org.

Subject: MFS through NFS
Hello freebsd-questions,
I run a server cluster that does allot of logging across NFS to an
MFS drive. The problem is once in a while the server with the MFS
drive reboots for no apparent reason. When it comes back up the
other servers get a stale nfs handle and do not perform the auto remount
routine like
they would an ordinary drive.
The nfs mounts are mounted with the bg options. They are supposed to
fork off a child process and remount automatically as soon as the
server comes back up.
Is there some kind of option or switch I am missing in this
configuration?
Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Best regards,
Greg mailto:admin@fastserve.net
