SPARCcenter 2000 (problems with NFS)

[mike () access com (Mike Avina)]

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.
