Hi all!
This is a dual Athlon system with SuSE 8.2.
Kernel is SuSE's k_smp-2.4.21-4.
After 32 days of uptime nfs exports stopped working.
While trying to restart the nfs server them I found that running
"rcnfsserver restart" hangs on exportfs (process ind D state)
Also a simple "cat /proc/fs/nfs/exports" hangs (process in D state).
The last lines from "strace cat /proc/fs/nfs/exports" show:
munmap(0x40016000, 59621) = 0
open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=32058672, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 2097152, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x40158000
close(3) = 0
brk(0) = 0x804c68c
brk(0x804d68c) = 0x804d68c
brk(0) = 0x804d68c
brk(0x804e000) = 0x804e000
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 2), ...}) = 0
open("/proc/fs/nfs/exports", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
read(3, <unfinished ...>
Here the process hangs.
What's happening? The nfs server was running for 32 days and suddenly this!
Thanks, Richard

I don't know the answer, but you can get some more potentially
interesting information by looking at the wait channel of cat and of
other relevant processes.
