- I've written my own nfs server, and it works for all practical
- purposes. My one major problem is that for files over about >150K it
- has some odd behavior. on some calls to "write" using a "soft" mount,
- it hangs the system completely until the rpc call times out. For a
- "hard" mount it tries to write and never comes back, and I end up
- cold-restarting.
-
- I think this has something to do with timing in the "write" procedure,
- because when I comment out the part of "write" that actually does
- transfer to disk and internal cache buffers, it of course doesn't
- write any data, but the above problems with timeouts go away.
-
- If anybody has any ideas I'd appreciate it. Please respond to
