Very recently we have seen a very serious slowdown with the exportfs command on a file server. Usually the exportfs -r command or even just the exportfs command to display the exported directories is very quick. Now it can take 20 minutes to display the exported directories. An strace shows a lookup at /etc/hosts, from yp, and from dns. The hosts lookup in /etc/nsswitch is files nis dns, so this is as expected, the time it is taking is not. The yp slave that the server is bound to seems to be having some problems, could this be the issue?
