Description Wade Minter 2001-02-13 20:38:52 UTC

Running fisher on a Big Sur, dual B3-800Mhz processors, 4GB RAM.

During moderately heavy NFS loads, the network will die with messages like
this output to /var/log/messages:

Feb 13 14:18:46 pilot kernel: nfs: server omega not responding, still
trying
Feb 13 14:19:36 pilot kernel: nfs: server tungsten.rtp not responding,
still trying
Feb 13 14:20:36 pilot kernel: nfs: task 6818 can't get a request slot
Feb 13 14:20:36 pilot kernel: nfs: task 6817 can't get a request slot
Feb 13 14:30:13 pilot kernel: nfs: server tungsten.rtp OK
Feb 13 14:30:23 pilot kernel: nfs: server omega OK
Feb 13 14:30:30 pilot kernel: nfsd: terminating on signal 9

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2001-02-13 23:39:44 UTC

eepro100 driver, right?

Comment 2 Wade Minter 2001-02-14 02:21:57 UTC

That's correct.

Comment 3 Michael K. Johnson 2001-02-14 02:28:12 UTC

There's a newer version of the eepro100 driver in our current
development sources, plus the e100 driver; one of them is
likely to solve this problem.  When we put out a new kernel,
please try it and let us know whether it solves the problem.
Thanks!

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
