I had many problems with reports of (socket destroy delayed (r=0,w=252) when I was running NFS and two networks. Since I dropped the NSF, the problem has disappeared.
Here is my setup. I have run Slackware 3.0 and RedHat 3.0.3, both using kernels 1.3.67, 1.3.78, 1.3.80. All have the same problem.
I have two ethernet cards in my box. One connected to a local net (net1) and the other connected to a different net (net2). All nets are thinwire. (I had them both on the same hardware net for awhile with different static routes, but that made no difference in what I am reporting.)
On net1, I had mounted user home directories (from a SUN running Solaris 2.3 to the linux box). The nets would run for awhile after booting, but intermittently would stop. The local net where the NSF mounts were would stop functioning. The other worked sometimes when this happened and othertimes it too would cease. Rebooting made them work for awhile.
I dropped the NFS mounts and the problem seems to have disappeared. I would like to get the NFS working again, but I don't know how.
Thanks for any suggestions.
