I upgraded from 2.6.23.10 to 2.6.24.2 yesterday, and found NFS service failing.
To be specific, all locks were blocking forever, with an endless flood of Feb 12 22:53:10 loki notice: kernel: statd: server localhost not responding, timed out Feb 12 22:53:10 loki notice: kernel: lockd: cannot monitor esperi Feb 12 22:53:45 loki notice: kernel: statd: server localhost not responding, timed out Feb 12 22:53:45 loki notice: kernel: lockd: cannot monitor esperi Feb 12 22:54:20 loki notice: kernel: statd: server localhost not responding, timed out Feb 12 22:54:20 loki notice: kernel: lockd: cannot monitor esperi Feb 12 22:54:55 loki notice: kernel: statd: server localhost not responding, timed out Feb 12 22:54:55 loki notice: kernel: lockd: cannot monitor esperi Feb 12 22:55:20 esperi notice: kernel: lockd: server loki.wkstn.nix not responding, still trying (esperi is a UML instance on the same machine, connected via a bridged TUN/TAP interface: the bridge, and network service to esperi and to the rest of the local net across that bridge, was fine.) I'm currently using NFSv3 atop nfs-utils 1.1.0.33-gdd08789, with daemons being started in the suggested order (portmap, mountd, statd --no-notify, nfsd). This evening I'm going to try to upgrade to nfs-utils HEAD and see if this continues. -- `The rest is a tale of post and counter-post.' --- Ian Rawlings describes USENET -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
