I thought I saw a post regarding a similar problem to mine, and mentioning a patch, but I can't find the post anymore (and I never found the patch), so: I'm currently running 2.4.5-ac9. Earlier 2.4.x kernels worked OK with NFS, but blew up on my Athlon machine. This kernel does _not_ work OK with NFS. I can mount shared directories on either of my roommate's machines with no problems. They can mount my shares, and perhaps do an ls or two, but any operations beyond that will hang (at their end; all my logs show nothing, and my machine is unaffected) until NFS times out. I've tried both the user and the kernel nfs server. My roommate has tried 2.4.5-ac7, 2.4.5-ac15, and 2.2.19, none of which worked. My other roommate has a machine running a 2.4pre kernel which _does_ work, and also a 2.4.1 kernel which I believe works. We have another machine running 2.4.3 with the XFS patch; that one doesn't work. I have a tulip NIC and am using ext2, if that helps. Another interesting thing is that I'm also running Samba, and both smbfs (on their end) and my Windows machine experience problems almost identical to NFS. So it really might be the NIC. I'm not subscribed, but I read the newsgroup via Google, so there's no pressing need to Cc me on replies. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- --Ray ----------------------------- Sotto la panca la capra crepa sopra la panca la capra campa - 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/
