Hi,
Early (year ago and recently) I reported about my faults in getting working NFS4 mounts (primary automounting /home) with system booted with NFSv3-root. It always used to silently hang nodes with zero output in the logs. It was definitely client issue (I tried it with different versions of linux and solaris servers)
Although I can't get simple and reproducible test-case, because hangs appears randomly, it can happen in 1hour, it can happen in 5 days, but it always will happen after some time. But this time I got some some improvement.
With 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64 kernel and fresh nfs-utils from Fedora-12, after NFS4 mounts hangs, NFS3 mounts and node itself still continue to work, which gives chance to investigate problem.
Can you give me instruction how to collect all necessary information to figure out where the bug is?
As starting point I will attach output of echo "t"> sysrq-trigge, list of NFS mounts.
Thanks,
Anton.
