| |
Hi,
i was happy running Linux on two machines ( one exports home directories to the other through nfs ) until today.... Today i installed kernel 2.2.10 on my client and troubles started.
Here's the configuration :
both client & server are AMD 400Mhz with 128MB RAM.
My home directory is nfs mounted from the server.
Each time i'm trying to use netscape to send and email , the netscape process goes into uninterruptible sleep, wating for disk io to complete ... and never wakes up. This is 100% reproducible ( even after client reboot and nfs server restart ). It happens ( up to now ) only with netscape when opening a mail composer, not when reading or deleting messages ...
Here are some evidences i found :
uname -a Linux charles.eporter.com 2.2.10 #4 Mon Jun 21 15:11:34 PDT 1999 i586 unknown
ps aux | grep netscape charlus 565 16.1 9.0 19556 11596 ? D 18:14 0:06 /apps/netscape/netsca [charlus@charles charlus]$ cat /proc/565/status Name: netscape State: D (disk sleep) Pid: 565 PPid: 1 Uid: 501 501 501 501 Gid: 100 100 100 100 Groups: 100 500 506 VmSize: 19580 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 11664 kB VmData: 5208 kB VmStk: 24 kB VmExe: 10664 kB VmLib: 2056 kB SigPnd: 0000000000002000 SigBlk: fffffffffffffefb SigIgn: 0000000000001080 SigCgt: 0000000000016403 CapInh: 00000000fffffeff CapPrm: 0000000000000000 CapEff: 0000000000000000
--- Now let's go to the nfs server ----
rlogin server [charlus@server charlus]$ uname -a Linux server.eporter.com 2.2.10 #12 Mon Jun 14 09:32:40 PDT 1999 i586 unknown /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd -v Universal NFS Server 2.2beta37
nothing special in /var/log/messages
--------back to the client----------------
On the client, i found this on /var/log/messages
Jun 21 18:59:19 charles kernel: RPC: doubly enqueued task! Jun 21 18:59:19 charles kernel: RPC: failed to add task to queue: error: -11! Jun 21 18:59:19 charles kernel: lockd: couldn't bind to server 192.168.0.2 - giving up. Jun 21 18:59:19 charles kernel: RPC: task of released request still queued! Jun 21 18:59:19 charles kernel: RPC: (task is on xprt_pending)
any idea ?
thanks a lot.
