Hi...
I have been running nhfsstone on a tcp-mount NFS partition. Both the
client and the server are running 2.4.8. The server uses ReiserFS for
its disk partition. I've applied the respective nfs-tcp patches to the
client and server... and was able to mount the nfs export using mount
-otcp on the client...
However, during the test, the server kept giving the error:
RPC request reserved 244 but used 248
Any idea what this error could mean and how to stop it?
thanks,
Abhas.

It means that I can't count, and that the patch you have is a bit
out-of-date.
The latext -ac patch should work fine.
I probably wont be putting out another complete NFS patch until 2.4.19
comes out.

I patched the server kernel using the patch-Bd-NfsdAll for 2.4.18 that I
downloaded from cse.unsw.edu.au. So I guess I am using your latest
patches. The client was patched using 2.4.18 + Trond's NFS client
patch linux-2.4.18-NFS_ALL.dif. Other than that both the server and the
client were patched for reiserfs quota support (Chris Mason's patches).
All these patches were downloaded during the last 14 hours...
I am basically looking at test NFS-TCP support for a file server design
for a mail server. We're using reiserfs throughout.
Would the -ac tree be stable enough to experiment with this? And are
there any major advantages in using -ac tree or can I get away with
using 2.4.18-stable.
thanks for your help,
abhas.

I think you don't understand how my patch repository works, which is
understandable, because it isn't really documented anywhere.
How it works is that every patch I create goes there somewhere. From
time to time I might recommend particular patches on some mailing
list, or send particular patches to Linus/Alan/Marcelo for inclusion
into trees.
There is no attempt to keep a current 'best-of-breed' patch or to
guarantee correctness of any patches.
By using the patch you did you were doing the 'correct' thing in that
it is that latest one that I have publicly recommended. However it is
not the latest patch... which is to say that I have not publicly
recommend any fixes that I have made, except by sending them to Alan.
But maybe I should....
On-top of that patch that you have, you could add:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/patches/linux-stable/2.4.19-pre3-ac1/patch-h-NfsdReserveFix
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/patches/linux-stable/2.4.19-pre4-ac4/patch-A-NfsdSymolicSizes
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/patches/linux-stable/2.4.19-pre7-ac1/patch-A-LockdTcpFix
plus this stanza:
--- ./fs/nfsd/export.c 2002/03/18 01:40:45 1.9
+++ ./fs/nfsd/export.c 2002/03/18 01:41:40 1.10
@@ -533,13 +506,15 @@

if (tmp->h_addr.s_addr == addr) {

/* Move client to the front */
if (head != hp) {
*hp = tmp->h_next;
tmp->h_next = *head;
*head = tmp;
}
-
+#endif
return tmp->h_client;
}
}
out of
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/patches/linux-stable/2.4.19-pre3-ac1/patch-Q-NfsdLocksExplock
together these should bring you up-to-date...
Actually, there is another on. I don't actually have a -stable patch
for it yet, but
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/patches/linux-devel/2.5.15/patch-E-RpcDGRAMFix
should probably apply on-top of the others OK.

Well... Server support for NFS/TCP is very new, as you can probably
tell. If you are happy to knit patches together, then go for it.

I cannot comment on how stable -ac is, or what advantages it has,
other than the fact that all of the above are in it.

Hi,
I reported the exact same thing with an IRIX server on Friday to this
list. I am glad that others are experiencing it too. Using version 2
made the troubles go away for me.
http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/789/75/8633160/
Time for a RH bugzilla entry or is there one?

i'm wondering what are the common elements here:
is the EEpro 100 ethernet card common to all clients
that exhibit this problem? NFSv3 over UDP? what is
the nature of the network flood -- ICMP packets, or
UDP? does "top" on the client show whether a particular
process or processes is spinning?
a tcpdump or at least "netstat -s" on the client after
the network is unplugged might be helpful.

Yes. A number of people have now reported that forcing v2 operation
does not result in slow performance, whereas in the 2.4.9-ac12 based
kernel, v3 was fine.

from the discussion in bugzilla it seemed like a fair number of people
were suffering from the nfs defaults going to nfsv3, upd and 32768 wsize
and rsize/ 32768 bytes. That size of packet is going to be hard for even
REALLY well maintained networks to manage.
It might be worthwhile to try out the nfsv3 client over tcp and see if
the same problems occur.

ben-
were any patches applied to RH's 2.4.18 that touched the NFS client?
for example, were any of Trond's experimental patches applied?
thanks!

We have had a similar problem with NetApp F720 where couple times a day NetApp would stop responding. On one occassion we had an occurence where a single box was trying to write out a 2 GB core dump file to the NetApp which completely hosed it down. Even without misbehaving problems we had issues with it. We had a script from NetApp that was continuously doing sysstat, nfsstat but there were no indications on what was going on. This is all on a network of RedHat 7.2 clients with 2.4.9-31 RedHat stock kernel. What saved us was switching to NFS over TCP. I am not very fond of that particular solution since it is more like treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
