Subject: RPC: TCP connect error 104!

I am experiencing a problem on a number of different clients mounting NFS mounts over TCP. The error message showing up is

RPC: TCP connect error 104!

I searched through Google Groups and found following message

=========================================

You may need more threads to service the clients? See Neil's notes
that accompanied the patches (in the archives) w.r.t the number of threads and the number of RPC receive buffers.

==========================================

I was wondering what is the easiest way to increase the number of threads. Most clients run RedHat's 2.4.9-31 kernel installed from an RPM. I also have a Rawhide kernel 2.4.18-0.12 that seems to exhibit same kind of behavior.

Thanks,
Vladimir

Just run rpc.nfsd and give it the number that you want.

rpc.nfsd 32

will increase the number of threads to 32

rpc.nfsd 128

will then increase it to 128.

If you find that has fixed the problem, the find the init.d script
that starts rpc.nfsd and change the number to whatever you want.
