[comp.sys.apollo] NFS question / comment

We  use NFS between Apollo,Sun and Convex.  
One interesting thing that happens to us is ......
We have no problems both ways from Apollo and Suns    and  have
no problems  mounting the Convex disks on the Apollo's , HOWEVER,
when the Convex mounts the Apollo disks, everything comes up and
works for awhile but then after x amount of time, if you try to 
ls or cd   the mounted dir  we get the following  error.   

NFS gettr failed for server_e80b.  RPC:  unable to receive /tmp/apollo 
I/O  error.   

I first suspected our Apollo server (node_e80b) as having something 
wrong , even though the Convex disks mounted on node_e80b were stable.
I then picked another node and did the same test with the exact same 
error messages indicated above.  
I'm new at NFS  and was just wondering is you have seen anything like 
this or can offer any comments .

Thanks
