Hi. Was testing 5.2 RC2 as NFS-server. Mounted three NFS-clients (two 5.2 based on i386-port and one current as of Feb. 13'th based on amd64). I mounted with tcp ver. 3 and r/w data size set to 16384. Then I started copying 4-5 GB back and forth. In RC2 I would occassionally get a 'NFS-server stopped responding/NFS-server alive again' on the client. Meanwhile I did a http-upload from a browser which did not complete. I cvsup'ed to current as of Feb. 18'th approx. 13.00 GMT and upgraded the server. Did the same test as mentioned above, this time the NFS-server kept answering during the copying. So I mounted all my six web-servers (NFS-clients) which is a mix of 5.1->5.2 (i386), one test-server (amd64) and one RedHat Linux and started another copy. Albeit slowly the copying did complete without any errors. My http-upload was also succeeded. Although this only applies to my particular environment I have the impression that NFS behaves better in current compared to RC2. Hardware is Compaq DL380 dual Pentium III, qlogic 2300 FC, approx. 1.5 GB RAM, GB em-NIC. regards Claus Yahoo! Mail (http://dk.mail.yahoo.com) - Gratis: 6 MB lagerplads, spamfilter og virusscan
