We have an RS6000 acting as an NFS server for several other RS6000s and RTs. Every day or so, we get "NFS server foo not responding, still trying" and when I run over to the RS6000, I find that one of the nfsds is in an infinite loop spinning on the run queue (no wait chan). Equally as bizarrely, only that single looping nfsd has ever apparently been scheduled to service any NFS requests--all the other nfsds are sitting there idly sleeping, having used exactly no CPU time (at least according to the ps listing.) The only solution appears to be to reboot. Anyone seen this? I believe we're running a relatively late-model release (9023??) but I'm not in front of the machines now to check. /Steve -- Steve Dyer dyer@ursa-major.spdcc.com aka {ima,harvard,rayssd,linus,m2c}!spdcc!dyer dyer@arktouros.mit.edu, dyer@hstbme.mit.edu
