Maybe I don't have that many connections (17), but I've been running NFS over TCP since 2.4.18. And I haven't had once MAJOR crash yet!! My clients however, are all Mac OS X clients. 10.0.4-10.2.6. Maybe that has something to do with it.... And we don't get a lot of hangs either.... later Dan On Tuesday, May 20, 2003, at 01:41 PM, guolin@alexa.com wrote: > David, > > "nfs over tcp" is terribly unstable until now, I use version 2.4.20, > and > find that over 30 simultaneous nfs connection can kill an "nfs over > tcp" > Linux nfs server easily. let clients' processes hangs there forever. > But > this didn't happen for Linux nfs server enabling only "nfs over udp". > > So the best choice now is totally disregard Linux "nfs over tcp" in > production environment. just try it in research environment. > > Thanks. > --Guolin Cheng > > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Myer [mailto:davidmyer800@yahoo.com] > Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 11:03 AM > To: nfs@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [NFS] nfs over tcp in linux kernel version 2.4.18 > > > Hi, > > Can anyone advise me if nfs server over tcp is > supported in 2.4.18 kernel version ?
