I have recently upgraded my NFS server from Jessie to Stretch. It was
the last system on my network that needed to be upgraded. After the
upgrade, I found that NFSv4 was nearly unusable. All user home
directories, as well as backup and scratch space, are mounted via NFS.
Users trying to log in to a default GNOME session would experience hangs
that appeared to never resolve themselves. Logging in through ssh
resulted in ~2 minutes delay before a bash prompt would appear.
I attempted several things to troubleshoot the problem, including
reverting to kernel 3.16.0 from Jessie and nfs-utils 1.2.8-9.1. I tried
going all the way back to nfs-utils 1.2.8-9, but the version of systemd
in Stretch has "nfs-common (<< 1:1.2.8-9.1)". Even after reverting the
problem persisted. Based on that, I think that the problem may have
been introduced as far back as 1.2.8-9.1.
The problem also manifested itself in the form of problems for users
logged directly into the NFS server. Even though file accesses are
local in that scenario, if an NFS client had attemped to access a file
and hung on it, then it would also cause problems on the NFS server.
For example, I have a large MBOX file that I access with mutt. If I
access the file from an NFS client then it appears to hang with messages
like this flooding syslog on the client:
vmunix: [918369.611122] NFS: nfs4_reclaim_open_state: Lock reclaim failed
Trying to then open that same mbox with mutt on the NFS server causes
mutt to segfault because the call to fcntl() returns an error.
The only thing that resolved the problem was switching my exports from
sec=krb5p to sec=krb5i. Of course, this is considerably less desirable
than krb5p in some cases.
I believe the that problem is with rpc.svcgssd. Here is part of what
got captured in syslog during a failure:
