I encountered this problem on my server. What causes it? What fixes it? I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.20 and the problem appears to have gone away. I've been running 2.4.20 and I have not seen the problem repeat. I tried mounting the nfs with version 3.0, I thought this would fix it. Based on my questioning on the nfs list, clients are exceeding the set number of file handles for the system, or something...weird problem... It's some sort of file handle issue thing. I think your remounting of a volume from another system will cause file locking issues. > > I have an weird problem with a RedHat Linux server running v8.0.
