Didn't see the original message, sorry if this is a duplicate -----Original Message----- From: Murata, Dennis Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 3:26 PM To: linux-nfs-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Unable to mount nfs directories RHEL 4.8 We are using a modified RHEL 4.8 build accessing Netapp filers for data directories. The build has nfs-utils-1.0.6-93.EL4, nfs-utils-lib-1.0.6-10.el4, kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-89.EL all x86_64. After a period of use, on a very questionable network using tcp as the nfs transport, workstation will start getting error messages in /var/log/messages|dmesg and are not able to mount/access the data directories. A reboot is necessary to allow the mounts. The time period varies and seems to depend on the usage, but in general will start within a week of moderate use. The error messages are: lockd: cannot monitor 192.168.10.133 lockd: failed to monitor 192.168.10.133 nsm_mon_unmon: rpc failed, status=-96 lockd: cannot monitor 192.168.10.133 lockd: failed to monitor 192.168.10.133 nsm_mon_unmon: rpc failed, status=-96 lockd: cannot monitor 192.168.10.133 lockd: failed to monitor 192.168.10.133 These errors are repeated as access to the filer (ip address has been changed) is tried. A ps on the workstation shows rpc.statd still running, service nfslock status reports rpc.statd running. If the nfs-utils rpm from RHEL 4.6 is loaded, nfs-utils-1.0.6-84.EL4, the problem does not occur. We have been testing a few workstations for ~two weeks without problem. Any ideas?
