<P>-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>From: "Marco Nelissen" <marcone@xs4all.nl> <BR><BR>> >Hi, <BR>> > <BR>> >I am having an issue with my NFS mounts. I have a raid server, which stores <BR>> media files (music, video, pictures, etc). <BR>> > <BR>> >My problem: I can mount the NFS directories without issue and I can read files <BR>> from those directories also with no issues. However, if I try and move/copy a <BR>> file from a directory locally located on the machine onto a NFS mounted <BR>> directory the move/copy will start and then hang. looking at the process using <BR>> 'ps aux' shows the applicable process hanging with a D+. Anyone have any idea <BR>> what could be causing this? From the computer that has the NFS directories <BR>> mounted, I can 'cd' into the NFS mounted directory and create files. ie: I <BR>> could do "touch test" and "rm test" without issue. <BR>> <BR>> Is it actually complet
ely hanging (forever) or just slow? I'm having <BR>> an issue with a RAID server mounted over NFS where while a copy is in <BR>> progress, accessing the NFS mount becomes really slow. For example, <BR>> if I type "ls -l /mnt/videos" (/mnt/videos is where the server is <BR>> mounted at), while I'm copying a large file to the NFS server, the <BR>> 'ls' command can take over a minute to complete. <BR>> The linux kernel mailing list has some discussions about NFS stalls, <BR>> but those should have been fixed in the kernel-version I'm using. </P>
<P>Nope, I am pretty sure it's hung. Until I try to kill the process, I can do other commands like "ls" and "du -sh". Using the du command I can watch the file size of the file being copied. I notice it growing for a little while and then stopping. In additon I will note less activity over the network. Once I try and kill the cp process, those commands will then also hang. </P>
<P>All that said, last night I tried to go to Samba using CIFS. It works better -- but eventually, I run into similar type problems. So it may not be strictly NFS. Strange thing is... scp works all the time.</P>
