Then, after one minute or so, the system works again as nothing had happened. In these occasions I get this in the logs on the client madchines: Mar 26 10:29:38 virt1 kernel: nfs server 192.168.40.121:/data/mount_servers/wwwsec/www: lockd not responding followed shortly after by: Mar 26 10:29:38 virt1 kernel: nfs server 192.168.40.121:/data/mount_servers/wwwsec/www: lockd is alive again On the server I only get this: Mar 26 10:29:31 data1 kernel: NLM: failed to contact remote rpcbind, stat = 5, port = 28416 I don't think it's a network problem, since all connections are local and high speed (1Gb/s) I must admit that, with the other nfs problem I reported weeks ago, this kind of freebsd system seems less than stable to me, and this is very disappointing... Anyway I'd appreciate any pointer on this issue...
