amd has been exhibiting some nasty problems on an amd64 machine running
the x86_64 port of Debian/testing.  Specifically, it periodically
segfaults and must be manually restarted.  The usage of amd on this
machine is important, but the machine is currently under a very light
load.

This is interesting - I'm also running am-utils on x86_64, but not this particular version (my production machines are still running the version in sarge).

I see many messages in the log like this:

Jan 21 16:07:17 bach kernel: nfs: server [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/net not responding, still trying
Jan 21 16:07:18 bach kernel: nfs: server [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/net OK
Jan 21 16:07:27 bach kernel: nfs: server [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/net not responding, still trying
Jan 21 16:07:27 bach kernel: nfs: server [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/net OK
Jan 21 16:26:58 bach kernel: nfs: server [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/net not responding, still trying Jan 21 16:26:58 bach kernel: amd[2840]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaab1a3890 rsp 00007fffffe93c08 error 4

The not responding/OK messages occur once or twice an hour. Currently,
the other machines in our small cluster are not being used, so all of
the NFS traffic is local to this machine.

Can you actually reproduce this on demand, or does it just occasionally fall over? Could add your automount map files to the bug report, so that I (and the am-utils developers) can see exactly what the configuration is?

I've seen some reports similar to this on the am-utils mailing list, so I'll forward your bug report to them and see what they think. But in the mean time, the full details of your configuration would be useful, i.e. your amd.conf file, your /etc/default/am-utils file and any map files referred to by the amd.conf file.

Thanks,

Tim
