Can't say this applies to you, but we had similar problems with 2650's with the on board Adaptec Controllers. We replaced them with the newer LSI cards and problem solved.

They are all running RedHat 8 with kernel 2.4.18 (yes I know. Its old but upgrading might require a recompile of my firms processes and retesting them. Thats pretty tough to do all in one shot for us.) Two of these machines are running PowerVault 220Ss in a hardware managed RAID arrays through PERC 3 cards. One of these PowerVaults hard disk arrays is serving as the users /home directories and a /data directory as well and I have the proper export entries in /etc/exports for /data and /home These 2 directories are actually on /usr2/home and /usr2/data on that server. The other 3 servers can mount /home and /data just fine and they all have: timeo=14,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr as thier mount options for those 2 directories. This morning I came in and shells on all of the 3 servers that are mounting to /home and /data would lockup hard if I accessed /home or /data I did a fuser -m /home and a fuser -m /data and both had quite a large list of processes. I had to restart the server running the /home and /data directories and it hung up shutting down the nfs services. So I gritted my teeth and hard cycled the power. Fortunately everything came back up. But I cant continue to have NFS lockups like this. Ive done alot of googling and other searches and Ive read lots of documents but I can not seem to find anything to point me to the root of this problem. Any help or pointers to where I can get help would be greatly appriciated. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
