List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hi there fellow nfs'ers (or whatever I'm supposed to call you :) I got some issues with my root-on-nfs installation and after an hour of googling, reading forums and mailinglist (none in particular, just whatever google turned up) and trying a bunch of stuff I thought it was time to resort to this mailing list. I am capable of booting and mounting the rootfs, as well as any other nfs shares but it goes slow and from time to time becomes unresponsive for some moments. When measuring speed of downloading files to nfs share I get decent speed and every few minutes it halts for some seconds, sometime just a few, sometimes many. According to what I've come to know I should set a few options to get rid of this situation, namely tcp, rsync, wsync and nfsvers3. Unfortunately the booting kernel refuses to use the options I specify with append as stated in nfsroot.txt in the documentation folder from my kernel. I can mount the share with the specified options when booted from a live-cd (ubuntu 5.10) so as far as I can see it's just a stubborn kernel which don't listen to what I say. :D Some information about my setup and config files: pxelinux.cfg/default: "DEFAULT /bzImage APPEND ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.64:/mnt/storage/network-nodes/default,sync,hard,intr,rw,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nfsvers=3,tcp" Some information I am supposed to give when mailing this list: nfs-utils version: net-fs/nfs-utils-1.0.6-r6 kernel version: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r5 operating system: Gentoo Linux network layout: Servers "eth1: DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" connected to a dlink gigabit switch which in turn is connected to the clients "eth0: VIA Rhine II" Good to know: "eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex" /etc/exports snippet: "# Netboot /mnt/storage/network-nodes/ 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash)" rcpinfo -p localhost run on the server: " 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 33543 status 100024 1 tcp 47866 status 100011 1 udp 4002 rquotad 100011 2 udp 4002 rquotad 100011 1 tcp 4002 rquotad 100011 2 tcp 4002 rquotad 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100021 1 udp 33544 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 33544 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 33544 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 47867 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 47867 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 47867 nlockmgr 100005 1 udp 834 mountd 100005 1 tcp 837 mountd 100005 2 udp 834 mountd 100005 2 tcp 837 mountd 100005 3 udp 834 mountd 100005 3 tcp 837 mountd" rpcinfo -p 192.168.0.64 run on the client: " 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 33543 status 100024 1 tcp 47866 status 100011 1 udp 4002 rquotad 100011 2 udp 4002 rquotad 100011 1 tcp 4002 rquotad 100011 2 tcp 4002 rquotad 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100021 1 udp 33544 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 33544 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 33544 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 47867 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 47867 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 47867 nlockmgr 100005 1 udp 834 mountd 100005 1 tcp 837 mountd 100005 2 udp 834 mountd 100005 2 tcp 837 mountd 100005 3 udp 834 mountd 100005 3 tcp 837 mountd" ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
