List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I have a linux NFS server running base 2.4.18 with xfs patches from SGI. Seeminly random times, the nfs server will become unresponsive. On a client, doing showmount -e [server] will timeout. Looking on the server shows that the nfs daemons will go into the DW state as shown by ps: root 123 0.2 0.0 0 0 ? DW Jul25 2:53 [nfsd] root 124 0.2 0.0 0 0 ? DW Jul25 2:50 [nfsd] root 127 0.2 0.0 0 0 ? DW Jul25 2:52 [nfsd] root 128 0.2 0.0 0 0 ? DW Jul25 2:52 [nfsd] root 129 0.2 0.0 0 0 ? DW Jul25 2:53 [nfsd] root 130 0.2 0.0 0 0 ? DW Jul25 2:53 [nfsd] root 131 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? DW Jul25 2:55 [nfsd] root 132 0.2 0.0 0 0 ? DW Jul25 2:53 [nfsd] The load will sit at about 8 which is how many nfsd's that I have running. I thought this was usually caused by a hardware problem, but I am able to get the the local filesystems that are exported just fine. Any help would be appreciated.
