Hi there,
OS: Solaris 9, NFS v3
*** At one point the "nfs.client" on our server was NOT turned ON. At this time we noticed that the rpcbind(process) was consistently about 12-13% in CPU use. Which seemed strange but could not find an answer to this. NFSD stayed up 11%. The nfs.client as I found out, started lockd and other programs "nlockmgr & status" important for NFS file locking from the clients perspective.
Q1) Is this normal for rpcbind ? If yes/no then can anyone explain, why did our rpcbind cpu usage dropped to almost less then 1% consistently after we TUNRNED ON nfs.client on our server. Since I started NFS client on the server I never saw it going up above 1%. ???
Q2) what does nfs.client have to do with RPCBIND's above described behaviour ???
Any feedback will be greatly helpful!
~thanks ~al
