What would cause the port to be connected to a socket again? I copied a large file to the nfs mount, and the hidden port is still there? Remember, this wasn't always the case, the hidden port is a recent issue. I ran wireshark on this and it appears to create two ports for NFS. One of them is canceled by the client (sends a FIN/ACK) and this port is what lays around never to be used again, and uses the other port for all connections after that. When I unmount the NFS directory, the port is finally freed (but has no socket attached to it). What is the purpose of keeping this port around? I can reproduce this by having the client unmount and remount the directory. -- Steve
