Description of problem: I have a FC2T3 nfs server and a RH-9.0 nfs client, both connected to a gigabit switch. Trying to write a large file (dd if=/dev/zero of=big500 bs=1M count=500) to the nfs server, the copy process takes minutes or infinite time. Doing the same test, but using RH-9.0 (same hw) as the nfs server, the copy process takes ~10 seconds. Taking a tcpdump, I get lots of 'slsfs.nfs: 1472 write fh Unknown/0100000200080005D5700A008A710A0084A75613D5700A0083A4A98000000000 4096 bytes @ 0x1d3d000 <unstable>'. I also tried to increase rmem_default and rmem_max to 512k - no change. Hardware: Dell PE2650, Broadcom Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet NIC driver: TG3 I was also going to test the Broadcom driver, but failed on 'bcm5700: Unknown symbol genapic' Kernels test so far (nfs server): 2.6.5-1.358smp and 2.6.5-1.327smp
Is this still an issue with more recent FC kernels?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
