Hi Folks,
I've been having several problems with NFS (mostly serving, but some
client trouble too) on my FreeBSD box. The box exports a few
filesystems to our local network, using NFSv3 (some of the machines on
this net don't seem to make NFSv2 mounts). Here's a rough run-down of
the problems I've had:
- A remote client will hang sometimes. This is seem most
often on Sparc/Solaris boxes. I assumed it was the
problem mentioned in the section on NFS in the Handbook, and
duly bought a faster ethernet card (a PCI NE2000 card), but
the problem still persists.
- remote Alpha/OSF3 machines have trouble communicating NFSv3
(only) with a FreeBSD server, resulting in missing directory
entries. I submitted a PR for this one, since
it's repeatable, but no-one seems to have taken it up.
- I've seen problems with a FreeBSD client talking to a
Solaris server (either NFSv3 or NFSv2). If I do a large
lndir of a remote tree from the FreeBSD box, some of the
symbolic links will be messed up. This is fairly
repeatable.
These are really starting to kill me. Many thanks to anyone who can
help.
dmesg included below.
Cheers,
Simon
