    Subjectnfs udp 1000/100baseT issue
    a while ago i noticed a issue when one has a nfs server that has
    gigabit connection
    to a network and a client that connects to that network instead via 100baseT
    that udp connection from client to server fails the client gets a
    server not responding
    message when trying to access a file, interesting bit is you can get a directory
    listing without issue
    work around i found for this is adding proto=tcp to the client side
    and all works
    without error

    ive seen this on kernels as far back as 2.6.13 on my own machines
    (was around that time when i accutally got gigabit at home)
    and recently noticed on some thin clients i maintain that 2.4 kernels
    on the client side are also affected so perhaps its server side issue?
    as all servers ive seen this on are 2.6 i havent used 2.4 kernels in ages
    on my own machines so i havent looked into if 2.4 has that issue server side
    or not

    error message i see client side are as follows:
    nfs: server vox.net not responding, still trying
    nfs: server vox.net not responding, still trying
    nfs: server vox.net not responding, still trying

    server side shows no errors at all


    i was able to cat a couple files and narrow it down to it doesnt like files
    over 28504 bytes
    kernels at the moment here are client and server 2.6.15.4 but like i
    said eariler
    version seems to not matter much

    any further info needed ask
    testing i can also do but it might take me a while before i can get around to it
    took me a couple months just to get around to doing this :\
