>Description:
I have a FreeBSD 4.5R NFS server, and the nfsd is slamming the cpu, for no
apparent reason. I have Linux (RedHat 6.2, 7.2) and Solaris (2.7, 2.6) clients
accessing it via NFS. It is part of an NIS domain. I have had no problems in
the past, and had FreeBSD 4.4R on this machine and had NO TROUBLES until I
reinstalled and put 4.5R on it. I can not get the load down at all, and even
some clients timeout while talking to this server. Here is a clipped portion
from a top:
----------------
last pid: 328; load averages: 1.00, 1.02, 1.00 up 18+23:27:18 09:07:20

-----------------
Here is some other info about the box:
machine has dual nics, and is serving data on both ports.
in rc.conf:
nfs_reserved_port_only="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfs_server_flags="-h 10.177.178.51 -h 10.177.176.40 -u -t -n 20"
and in sysctl.conf:
vfs.nfs.gatherdelay=0
vfs.nfs.async=1
vfs.vmiodirenable=1
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=2097152
kern.ipc.somaxconn=8192
kern.ipc.maxsockets=16424
kern.maxfiles=65536
kern.maxfilesperproc=32768
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=1
net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=65535
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=65535
net.inet.udp.recvspace=65535
net.inet.udp.maxdgram=57344
net.local.stream.recvspace=65535
net.local.stream.sendspace=65535
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
>How-To-Repeat:
Build an NFS server using FreeBSD 4.5R. The machine should have 2 nics, and exporting filesystems to be nfs mounted (automounted) via linux/freebsd/solaris boxes. The nfsd load immediately jumps up.

None!
