Perhaps try adding some traceflags to your dsm.opt/dsm.sys, and/or try tracing it at the RHEL level with strace. One or both may shed light on where it's getting stuck.
IIRC, I've seen some odd client hangs (and other weird client failures) when there was a stuck/wedged/borked filesystem mount. A reboot would typically clear those without you realizing what happened. Maybe check "df" and "mount" output, look for oddities, compare the two, etc. (I've seen busted SMB mounts that no longer appear in "df", still appear in "mount", and caused dsmc failures). =Dave On 02/06/2015 01:30 PM, Tim Brown wrote: > This just happed, had been working for months.
