[WBEL-users] Random nfsd Error

[Erik Williamson]

Hi All -

We're hving trouble with our nfs server on a fully-patched WBEL3 Machine 
(Dell Poweredge 2600, 2G Ram, Dual Xeon).  Under a moderate load with 
several hundred machines mounting & using, the kernel nfsd data 
structure (svc_clnthash) loses entries for clients that have previously 
mounted, and are attempting another mount - we're using autofs.

The error returned is EPERM.  Has anyone else encoundered this?  We've 
figured a hack for mountd to get around this, but would rather have it 
work properly!

Any help is greatly appreciated... students and everyone else are 
getting verrrrry frustrated!

Thanks -
Erik.
