The client used to be able to mount the export with no problem, it can currently mount if I specify the client to use UDP (mount proto=udp nfs:/export). The client has been reset several times, the netstat -a output from the server for the relevant machine shows: # netstat -a | grep penfold tcp 0 0 virgo.sunrpc penfold.1022 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 virgo.nfsd penfold.1023 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 virgo.sunrpc penfold.1021 ESTABLISHED This occurs even when the client is down. I suspect that the TCP stack and/or NFS server on the server has somehow "wedged", and thus the client is having problems mounting. Is this likely? If so is there anything I can do about it, short of rebooting the server?
