Hello,

I have problem with heavy load of my nfsd server. There is connected about 70 
diskless machines, but in readonly mode. I catched traffic and get this:

21:00:39.715337 IP diskless-1.3297435097 > storage.nfs: 112 getattr fh
Unknown/A27801CEDE115FA30A005CD9080000007ABA42000000000000000000570CDB51

Why is the same machine requesting chmod of the same file and is there any way 
to find out name of file from this long id?

Thank you
Radek


Sorry - I don't think there's an easy answer to this but someone who knows more about nfsd may be along soon.

However, if no better idea turns up you could try using dtrace to monitor the underlying calls (or hack nfsd?). I have thought about doing this myself, but it is only available in new FreeBSD releases and the DTrace user guide (from Sun) is 60 pages long and gives me a headache. I know Linux people do something similar using SystemTap.

Is the attribute caching on the client set correctly? Or even working (bug?)

BTW, what you're seeing isn't unusual.

Regards, Frank.
