I have a server that exports an nfs partition to 5 clients every so often (daily) one client has all its nfsiod processes go into diskwait on accessing files on the nfs partition. rebooting that client temporarily clears the error the server however also has troubles. every so often (weekly) it crashes on a page fault in the MALLOC macro is some nfs code. the only obvious potential souce of problems I can think of is a memory upgrade done to the server a couple months back it used to be 32mb ram/48 swap, but now its 64mb ram/48 swap all this machine is doing is running a bunch of basic net daemons (timed, rwhod) and nfs, its not even running x-windows any advice?
