Just an update for anyone paying attention to this issue. We are going to temporarily move the inbound Sendmail queue to be local rather than NFS. We'll run like this through the holiday weekend and see if the problems we're having continue or not. If they stop happening, then we can be pretty confident that some change in the NFS client code is causing this (the problems started when we upgraded the 1st client, before making any changes to the server). We've also noticed another problem that we believe to be NFS related as well with these same machines. It started happening at exactly the same time (though less frequently). This 2nd issue is in a custom application that we are running. At this time I don't have a lot of detail, but we are fairly confident that it is also NFS related. Making the inbound Sendmail queues local will also isolate this to be NFS or not. I will report back on Monday with our results. I appreciate everyone's input. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Maloney" <adam@whee.org> To: <freebsd-stable@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 8:16 AM Subject: NFS/Sendmail issue since upgrading to 4.9-STABLE > Hi all, > > I have 3 servers accepting mail, with sendmail in Queue-only mode dropping > mail into an NFS queue (mounted from a 4th machine.)
