- We're running amd5.3beta (alpha #1) to look after the nfs mount
- requirements on our network of sun4s. However, sometimes we have machines
- hanging up, seemingly waiting for amd. The syslog message:
-
- Oct 22 11:03:13 crash vmunix: NFS server amd:140 not responding still trying
- Oct 22 11:03:33 crash vmunix: NFS server amd:140 ok
-
- is all too frequent. Machines normally hang for a minute or two with the
- load average building up to 6 or so. However, I have occasionally
- seen machines hang and build up a load average of about 22, at which
- time only a reboot would recover.
-
- Has anyone else had similar problems with amd? Should I be running a
- different (more stable? better? version). Here is the complete version
- info in case it helps
