Hi, (I changed the SUBJ to be more descriptive for current problem) I got another client lockup today. It was a desktop so I have some more dmesg warnings about soft lockup caused probably by network cable unplug (but hopefully still showing what happens in rpciod) on http://merlin.fit.vutbr.cz/tmp/nfs/pckas-dmesg I can check with top, that rpciod was using 100% cpu. I limited the flow from client to server with firewall so I was able to save the server and get some tcpdump -s0 data (actually RPC null with ERR response from server) Just to remind, the client is 2.6.27.21 (i386), the server is 2.6.16.62 (x86_64). Please let me know if I can do anything more, this is really paintfull for me. -- Tomas Kasparek, PhD student E-mail: kasparek@xxxxxxxxxxxx CVT FIT VUT Brno, L127 Web: http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~kasparek Bozetechova 1, 612 66 Fax: +420 54114-1270 Brno, Czech Republic Phone: +420 54114-1220 jabber: tomas.kasparek@xxxxxxxxx GPG: 2F1E 1AAF FD3B CFA3 1537 63BD DCBE 18FF A035 53BC -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
