At least for me, I haven't seen a problem with NFS in general; only when I'm re-mounting local file system via NFS. I did some more testing, and now it appears that the problem doesn't involve amd at all. Here's what I did: mount localhost:/ /mnt cp /tmp/bigfile /mnt/tmp/bigfile.copy The file has to be non-trivial in size - I've gotten it to fail at 2.5MB or so, but it seems to work OK if the file is about 1.2MB. Copying FROM /mnt/tmp to /tmp works -- so problem is with writing only. Since I'm using localhost (127.0.0.1), I think it's safe to say that the ethernet driver isn't involved in the equation. I also tried SCSI disks as well as IDE drives, and the problem occurs with both. And, here's the output of "ps axl | grep nfs": UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND 0 96 1 9 2 0 232 116 accept Is ?? 0:00.01 nfsd: master 0 100 96 0 -14 0 224 104 uihget D ?? 0:00.51 nfsd: server 0 101 96 0 -1 0 224 104 nfsrcv D ?? 0:00.05 nfsd: server 0 102 96 0 -14 0 224 104 uihget D ?? 0:00.01 nfsd: server 0 103 96 0 -14 0 224 104 uihget D ?? 0:00.00 nfsd: server 0 109 1 0 2 0 208 88 sbwait D ?? 0:00.24 nfsiod -n 4 0 110 1 0 -1 0 208 88 nfsrvc D ?? 0:00.06 nfsiod -n 4 0 111 1 0 -1 0 208 88 nfsrvc D ?? 0:00.01 nfsiod -n 4 0 112 1 0 -1 0 208 88 nfsrvc D ?? 0:00.01 nfsiod -n 4 100 385 170 0 -1 0 260 156 nfsrvc D+ ?? 0:00.14 cp /tmp/file Doesn't look very healthy, are they?
