[comp.protocols.nfs] Server nfs daemons and disk wait

deford@mitre.org (Kevin M. Deford) (06/05/90)

This problem may have already been discussed, but I just started reading
this newsgroup.  Are facility has around 75 sun workstations and 10 servers.
We have had a rare problem which occurs on any one of the servers where
all the nfs daemons go into disk wait and never come back.  Tracing the file
table shows that one of the daemons is in kernel_map mode and the rest of
the daemons are waiting for a file to become available (at least that is
what seems is happening).  Has anyone seen this problem and/or have a solution?
