I have tried updating the nfs-utils on it from the stuff supplied with SuSE-7.1 (0.2.1-17) to the current 0.3.3 stuff with no change. The clients are running either mount-2.9z or the more current mount-2.11l. The client system running 2.9z has a 2.4.9-ac10 kernel and the other with the 2.11l version of mount is running 2.4.10-ac12 This is most noticeable when I have a directory mounted from the server to the clients that contains bzipped patch files and when I execute the following on a client: bzcat /mnt/net/archive/patch-2.4.12-ac3.bz2 |patch -p1 It just sits there for a LONG time waiting for the transfer to start. I have tried playing around with various -onfsvers options when I mount the remote directory but it seems to get worse when I try nfsvers=2 (I have the above command hung in limbo right now on one of the client systems where I tried -onfsvers=2 When I compile kernels I turn on the "Provide NFSv3 server support" options. Also scp'ing the files between the systems proceeds at what seems like a normal rate. I have looked in the syslog and dmesg outputs when this occurs but nothing unusual seems to be getting logged. -- Steven A.
