Summary: Followup-To: Distribution: world Organization: University of California; Santa Cruz Keywords: NFS, HANG, NOT RESPONDING, HELP, PLEASE! Hello net world. I have a problem with my new NetBSD installation which I can't figure out. If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way via e-mail to: buhrow@cats.ucsc.edu Problem: When I try to nfs mount a filesystem from a remote fileserver, it mounts fine, but any sizable reads from that filesystem subsequent to the mount hang forever. The message, "nfs server host.foo.bar: not responding" is generated once, but then nothing happens for the following day and a half, or until the machine is forceably re-booted with the re-set key. Note that reboot doesn't work, because the process in disk wait can't be killed with signal 15. Description of machine: The machine is a 386DX running at 25MHZ with 8-MB of real memory, 32MB of swap, an Adaptech 1542A SCSI controller, a NE-1000 or 2000 clone, I don't know which, and a 1.2 MB floppy disk. Note that telnet, rlogin and rsh work fine. In fact, anything TCP works as well. The Nameserver udp calls also work. Thank you again for any suggestions/fixes/comments. -Brian <buhrow@cats.ucsc.edu>
