"Writing" is in quotes as nothing is actually being written to disk - this can go on for 12+ hrs or more - until the client is rebooted. It appears to cap out at around the 10-20Mbps rate and just sit there. Other clients are fine during this time. > > > Client mounts in /etc/fstab look like: > 192.168.1.33:/tank/share /usr/local/www/share nfs rw,-b,-i,-U,-3 0 0 > One other thing you could try is switching to TCP mounts (replace -U with -T). There are a couple of others that have reported NFS server problems (all different symptoms) where the problem went away when they switched to TCP. rickhome | help
