When this occurs, one of the users receives an error (although there seems to be no way to easily collate the users experience with the system log, short of using the timestamp). Sometimes it's "read/write error", sometimes it's more specific about something that was a file now being a directory (SVN tends to be rather more verbose). Most of the time this is just a nuisance, but at=20 times (such as last week or so) it occurs so often that it blocks any=20 work getting done. The NFS Server is running OpenSuSE 10.2 on a Dell PowerEdge 2900=20 with the PERC5/i controller. The NFS Clients are all SLES10 with the=20 standard mountoptions, and running in TCP mode (something about UDP +=20 NFS + GbE leads to subtle data corruption). I have been able to find some references to this problem in Google, but no solutions, and no discussion about what the problem stems from, nor if any fixes have been attempted. --------------enigA6E01B229B763E4BA9F022EB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHzwgryWYDdvnGArwRAvhVAJ905vC0SQemjCo7cnS+bcml6SizJgCgi5A4 rwGZQ1gusQFrJDU8ggOkZUA= =fbD6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigA6E01B229B763E4BA9F022EB--
