We have several Linux x86 workstations here. In "dmesg" on these PCs I see a lot of errors that read: NFS: Server wrote less than requested. AND eth0: TX underrun, threshold adjusted. This message appears whenever someone logged into the Mandrake/RH/whatever box (with NFS autofs mounting in his/her home directory) tries to write something to an nfs-mounted directory (usually the home directory). Even small files of 1.5 MB or so often generate something such as "I/O error" when saving a file (really small files usually get saved fine). And the home directory is always based in an SGI (O2, Indy, Onyx) with xfs file system. Intra-SGI these transfer take place perfectly, but Mandrake/RH/OtherLinux generates these problems. Has anyone seen this error before and does anyone know how to get around it? The kernel used is 2.4.22-28 for most of the Mandrake boxes, or at least 2.4.x anyway. We have not gone to 2.6.x yet. Thanks in advance. baker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx PS: Interestingly, when writing a big file, via e.g., cp file1 file2 The command always fails the first time. Try a second time and it works. Even if you delete the partially-written file2 and execute the command again, it works. Very strange. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
