- I have a DECStation 5000 setup as an NFS server for a few 3100's. I am
- having a problem with the server locking up for about 15 seconds or so
- whenever one of the clients tries to access through a stale NFS
- handle.
-
- The way I can duplicate the problem is to log on to the first machine,
- create a subdirectory, and chdir into the new subdirectory. Now if I
- log into the second machine and delete that subdirectory it will hang
- the server for about 15 seconds whenever the first machine tries to
- access the now defunct directory. During this 15 seconds or so the
- server seems to be stuck in kernel mode. I have tried logging in to
- the server as root, renice'ing to -20, and I still don't get any cycles
- for the 15 second hicup.
-
- Any advice? Any suggestions on where to start looking?
