List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi! Here is the problem. When I try to read and write at the same time (it shows up when trying to create a tar file) on an automounted directory the process starts up fine, but pretty quickly slows down and eventually stalls completely. The process is then frozen but reacts to a kill signal after a few minutes. At the same time I have seen kernel messages such as Jun 25 17:37:05 vangogh kernel: nfs: task 39046 can't get a request slot Jun 25 17:37:37 vangogh kernel: nfs: server bebop OK .... Networking seems to be fine otherwise, in particular I have no problems when I just read OR write from the same disk (as when I would create a tar file on a local disk from the mounted directory). I ran into this with the RedHat 7.3 distribution kernel (2.4.18) but also tried the very latest 2.4.19-rc1 with Trond's latest NFS_ALL patches (for pre10). The machine from where the disk is server is running SGI IRIX 6.5 and nfsstat shows that I am using NFS V3. So far I did not change any NFS options such as buffer size yet. Any suggestions?
