Just more information on my problems reported earlier:
1) I can reproduce the hanging file system when mounting from
HP/UX 9.05 or Sunos 4.1.3
2) It's not related to "ls" in any particular fashion; after the
a process reading from an NFS mounted file system hangs other
processes also hang when they attempt any read, or any access
at all.
3) A ps -axl of the hung processes indicates they are waiting in
"sbwait"
4) Interestingly enough; I installed this machine via NFS, so whatever
mount_nfs options sysinstall used were reliable enough to load
a binary and XFree86 distribution.
5) This is on an ep0 ethernet device (that could matter) - but other
network traffic works (i.e. ping, ftp, telnet, etc...)
6) I dropped the read and write packet sizes to 1024 (-r1024 and
-w1024 on the fstab lines) - that didn't help the problem. An
example line from /etc/fstab is:
jarryd.unx.sas.com:/local/disk3 /nfs/jarryd.unx.sas.com/local/disk3 nfs rw,-w1024,-r1024,-t60 0 0
7) Again, this is 2.2.1-RELEASE as of 4/8/97, downloaded from freefall.
