Hi!
I'm having a very nasty problem with the kernel space NFS server. I have four machines inter-connected by NIS and NFS (mounted by amd). One of them is connected by a slow (36.6 kbps) ppp link. One of the other three provides smb services with files in the local filesystem and in the other servers (for the user's homes). Everything works fine except when the ppp link goes down with the nfs filesystem mounted in the smb server. The processes using a file in the remote server hung normally waiting for IO, and if you attempt to access any resource of that server by an "ls" or a "cat" the automounter responds "resource temporarily unavailable" and returns to the shell. But if you do a "df" the process hangs and don't responds to CTRL-C. (note: the nfs is mounted hard,intr)
Something similar happens with any new smbd process, with every share acceded!!
I connect with smbclient to a local share and do an ls, it shows me the list, the free space left in the share and then the smbd hungs waiting for IO. So I think it must be stating all the filesystems and getting the same behaviour as "df".
Is this a bug in the knfsd or am I doing something wrong?
My configuration is:
smb server: kernel 2.2.5-15 samba 2.0.4b-19990527 am-utils 6.0.1s11-1.6.0 knfsd 1.2.2-4 ypbind 3.3-20
Remote server: kernel 2.2.5-22 autofs 3.1.3-2 samba 2.0.3-8 knfsd 1.2.2-4 ypbind 3.3-20
