Description of problem: Starting programs that are on an NFS (auto)mount or sourcing shell scripts that are on an NFS (auto)mount take a very long time with the 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 kernel. Downgrading to 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 or any previous RHEL5 kernel fixes the problem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 2. Time to open shells (user home dirs on NFS mounts) or open applications residing on NFS mounts take a very long time. 3. Downgrading to kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 or kernel-2.6.18-8.el5 fixes the problem. Actual results: NFS performance is very slow Expected results: NFS performance should be same as or better than previous RHEL5 kernels. Additional info:
> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 ^^^^ typo should be kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5
