Message-ID: <20000621131241.A967@neutrino.uoa.gr> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2i Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have a Linux box as an NFS server and a FreeBSD box which acts as an NFS client. If I explicitly shutdown the NFS services in the Linux box, actions like 'df', 'ls /mnt' (/mnt is the mount point of the remote directory), or even 'umount /mnt', in the FreeBSD box, seem to lock forever. I waited for about 20-25 mins, I got a 'server not responding' message, but the processes were still locked and I could not even kill them. I started again the NFS services in the Linux box and I got a 'server alive' message in the FreeBSD box, after about 10 mins. Is that the correct behaviour? I had a look over /sys/nfs/nfs.h and the configuration constants seem perfectly resonable. I would like to help solving the problem, if it is an actual one. Otherwise, my apologies for taking your time.
