Hi,

We have /usr mounted over NFS on our workstations  RH6.2
Server RH 6.2
nfs-utils-0.1.9.1-1
Kernel 2.2.16

These workstations happily use samba and other services without any
delays but with NFS they hang in X for up to 15 minutes before NFS come
back.
We can ssh into the workstations and use any utility underneath X
without any problems whilst it is hung in X.

We have changed  the Server eepro100 for a 3com 3c95x with no difference

according to what has been alluded to in other kernel posts.

By the evidence that we have gathered it seems that the Server is not
taxed too much as samba users are getting files OK etc.  The can't get
request slot is plaguing many others in different ways.   It looks like
an NFS issue.   How can this be proven?  Then we can work on the
problem.

Thanks
