Hi All, I am rtf'ing like mad but I cant seem to find an answer to my problem. I have an nfs server running Debian 3.1 and every once in a while, the load goes through the roof (like 20+). Its an duel hyperthreaded intel processor based machine that just hums along (it doesn't know the words) most of the time. But every couple of minutes or so the load spikes and the nfs becomes unresponsive. Here is output from one of the clients: Nov 3 15:52:39 ws01 kernel: nfs: server nfs01 OK Nov 3 15:54:22 ws01 kernel: nfs: server nfs01 not responding, still trying Nov 3 15:54:23 ws01 kernel: nfs: server nfs01 not responding, still trying Nov 3 15:54:41 ws01 kernel: nfs: server nfs01 OK Nov 3 15:54:41 ws01 kernel: nfs: server nfs01 OK Here is the nfsstat from the server: Server rpc stats: calls badcalls badauth badclnt xdrcall -1309384875 33375 0 33375 0 Server nfs v2: null getattr setattr root lookup readlink 0 0% 1334410941 90% 2074877 0% 0 0% 133796690 9% 516 0% read wrcache write create remove rename 1766674 0% 0 0% 5275039 0% 889651 0% 211550 0% 659132 0% link symlink mkdir rmdir readdir fsstat 0 0% 6 0% 1752 0% 354 0% 14094 0% 9 0% Server nfs v3: null getattr setattr lookup access readlink 17 0% 1210394011 80% 1601356 0% 42514827 2% 60271952 4% 3632 0% read write create mkdir symlink mknod 89763759 5% 74699132 4% 574313 0% 15226 0% 636 0% 0 0% remove rmdir rename link readdir readdirplus 128993 0% 486 0% 48753 0% 1 0% 155881 0% 2399 0% fsstat fsinfo pathconf commit 585 0% 580 0% 0 0% 26304597 1% I am not really sure how to read this but it looks reasonable to me. Anybody got any helpful insight to this?
