Interesting. We have ~80 nfs clients and since adding the last 30 we got the problem that when a lot of users are using the system we often get "RPC: timed out" on a lot of machines, but in the server lot nothing looks wrong. Maybe I should try setting up an additional nameserver on the nfs server because the machine currently running the nameserver is an old sun ultra1 enterprise... We also experienced a weird problem where after everything was running fine for a few days the server would refuse mounts to some clients with "getfh failed" and you'd have to exportfs -rav to get it working again... --=20 Tobias PGP: 0x9AC7E0BC This mail is made of 100% recycled bits --M9NhX3UHpAaciwkO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9z4mC5q/seprH4LwRAg+bAJ91xIsDgk4IC2rW3anYN+qPTPXHWwCgh86q YDVX8o4h6OD+JCmjlydtUgk= =wi6q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --M9NhX3UHpAaciwkO-- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ NFS maillist - NFS@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs
