From: Eric Anderson To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, anderson@centtech.com Cc: Subject: Re: misc/35151: High NFSD load in FreeBSD 4.5R Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2002 17:09:34 -0500 Just an update - this problem still is occurring in 4.6-RELEASE, and 4.6.2-RELEASE. I have narrowed the problem down to when solaris nfs (automounters) try to communicate with the NFS server, it causes the NFS server to go into high load. This only occurs on FreeBSD NFS servers with more than one interface, both of which can be accessed by the solaris machine, with the nfsd process attached to both (using the -h option). Apparently, the solaris machines continue to send the packet (maybe malformed?) to the FreeBSD fileserver every x seconds (x is less than 30), and it will continue to load the NFS fileserver.
