Description Andreas-Johann Ulvestad 2012-04-18 10:37:58 UTC
Description of problem:
When accessing several files at the same time (eg Evolution), NFS halts and a kernel message is printed on all terminals.

When using evolution, this usually happens each 15 minutes.

The clients are Fedora 16 i686 connected to a RHEL 6.2 NFS server. Mount options are: rsize=8192,wsize=8192. We used to have mount option 'tcp' as well, but that lead to constant hickups. mtab lists:
{{SERVERIP}}:/home/ /home nfs4 rw,relatime,vers=4,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr={{CLIENTIP SAME SUBNET}},minorversion=0,local_lock=none,addr={{SERVERIP}} 0 0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All systems are fully up to date.

How reproducible:
Happens very often.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start evolution, read some e-mails
2. Evolution hangs
3. Error message is printed on all terminals
