we have a host that is creating many problems as it's mountd stops responding to requests (and mucking up automounters all over). the process is still running but "rpcinfo -u hostname 100005" results in: rpcinfo: RPC: Timed out program 100005 version 0 is not available it's an SS2 running 4.1.3 with the following patches (among many others) : 100173-10 NFS Jumbo Patch P s 100249-09 automounter jumbo patch this would happen various hosts on rare occasions, but this box has now done this 6 times within the last 2 days (it's a lab support box) with anywhere from minutes to hours between occurences. the major problem is that other hosts go ballistic during this time, including the central fileservers. it's hard to figure out exactly what's happening as by the time it's noticed, the machine itself is inaccessible to logins and many other commands. we may try enabling full accounting (to whatever effect). anyone seen this or have any insight ? unfortunately, the automounter is a critical part of our setup. thanx! -eric ============================================================================= - Portland State University - Eric Berggren Janaka Jayawardena Administrator, CS/EE Director of Computer Services, CS/EE eric () ee pdx edu janaka () ee pdx edu
