I'm mounting an NFS partition from an SGI box (an xlv volume) on a dual PPro Linux machine, and way too often I get:
Jul 2 00:40:19 big kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 5 Jul 2 00:41:54 big kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 5 Jul 2 00:42:27 big kernel: nfs: server stats.isi.net not responding, still trying Jul 2 00:42:37 big kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 5
on the Linux box. Should I be looking at my Linux box (2.1.43) as being in error, or the SGI (Challenge, IRIX 6.2+patches)?
Once I get these messages, any process that was in the middle of reading/writing hangs, and anything that tries to access that nfs partition seems to get an I/O Error (df simply pauses for a while, then moves on)
If I kill off the nfsd and rpc.mountd processes, and then restart them (on the SGI) and then kill any hung processes on the Linux box, things will seem to return to normal after a minute.
Any ideas as to what I should be looking at in order to debug this problem?
