    lsof is obviously having trouble interpreting the data from
    the kernel.  You could try recompiling lsof, but if it produces
    the same junk you will just have to ignore it.  I don't particularly
    see anything related to NFS in the information you've presented so
    far.

    I recommend using more conventional programs such as 'ktrace',
    'ps axl', and 'netstat -in | fgrep tcp' to try to figure out
    why your nnrpd's are having problems.  Considering the migration
    you just went through there are many potential sources to the
    problems you are having.

:hi, i recently migrated our news box (which runs approx. 1MB/s nntp
:traffic inbound and >2MB/s outbound) to several systems and got the
:spool onto a vinum volume that spans 6 scsi busses (adaptec 3940UW) each
:4 disks (IBM DNES 18GB). theres a private switched interconnect between
:the reader box and the "fileserver" now and nfs seem to crash on me
:somehow. nnrpd start to die after a few megabytes transfer and if i do
:an fstat -vp on one of the nnrpd's i get
:root@NEWS:black[~]31# fstat -vp 3820
