Re: nfsd: terminating on error 104 problem

[Johan van den Dorpe <johan.vandendorpe@framestore-cfc.com>]

I tried out the patch today, rebooted with the new kernel at 9:42am

Then, we started getting these messages (which we were having before but 
didn't cause any noticable problems)

Mar  5 10:05:00 ps30 kernel: nfsd: peername failed (err 107)!

After a few hours, we started getting the terminating on error 104 errors:

Mar  5 13:56:49 ps30 kernel: nfsd: terminating on error 104

Until finally the server crashed, refusing input from the console. There 
were no messages on the console apart from the above nfsd errors. This 
is the last syslog entry

Mar  5 17:10:10 ps30 rpc.mountd: Caught signal 15, un-registering and 
exiting.
Mar  5 17:10:10 ps30 nfs: rpc.mountd shutdown succeeded

While the server was up we recieved 112 peername failed (err 107) 
messages, and 5 terminating on error 104 messages.

If you want any more info please tell me what it is you need.

Otherwise have a good weekend!

Thanks,
Johan.
