I'm using an nfs mount to get at the underlying file system on a system that uses unionfs mounts ... instead of using nullfs, which, last time I used it over a year ago, caused the server to crash to no end ...


But, as soon as there is any 'load', I'm getting a whack of:

Oct  3 22:46:16 neptune /kernel: nfs server neptune.hub.org:/vm: not responding
Oct  3 22:46:16 neptune /kernel: nfs server neptune.hub.org:/vm: is alive again
Oct  3 22:48:30 neptune /kernel: nfs server neptune.hub.org:/vm: not responding
Oct  3 22:48:30 neptune /kernel: nfs server neptune.hub.org:/vm: is alive again

in /var/log/messages ...

I'm running nfsd with the standard flags:

        nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 4"

Is there something that I can do to reduce this problem? increase number of nfsd processes? force a tcp connection?

The issue is more prevalent when I have >4 processes trying to read from the nfs mounts ... should there be one mount per process? the process(es) in question are rsync, if that helps ... they tend to be a bit more 'disk intensive' then most processes, which is why I thought of increasing -n ...

Thanks ...
