This might be caused by a bug in the 2.4 NFS speed up code. Sun suggests turning the feature off. It is supposed to be fixed in 2.5, but is unknown if they weill retro-patch it back to 2.4. The only caveat that I know of is that it will slow down NFS performance because it will now take back to the 2.3 NFS code. Put in /etc/system and 'boot -r': set nfs:nfsreadmap=0 Let me know if this helps. cfs On Jun 1, 2:31pm, Mike Avina (mike () access com) wrote:
Subject: SPARCcenter 2000 (problems with NFS) This isn't a security 'bug' but it seems to be a 'bug' nonetheless: Does anyone here know of problems causing NFS to time out on S/2000s? The problem has persisted despite many calls to SUN and many patch installations. The system has done everything from timing out until nfsd and automountd were restarted to suddenly dying and mysteriously entering single-user mode and since the machine is configured as a router it causes network-wide problems during these moments of chaos. [The following patches are in place: 101907-05,101945-27,101959-03, 101973-10,101977-03,102003-02,102007-01,102044-01,102057-04, 102070-01.] If you have any suggestions as to what might alleviate this problem you can mail me direct.
