NFS-Problem with Linux 2.2.7 and AIX

NFS-Problem with Linux 2.2.7 and AIX

Post by Dirk Neunzi » Tue, 20 Jul 1999 04:00:00



I have two machines running under SuSE Linux 6.1 (kernel 2.2.7) and AIX
4.2.1. On the AIX-machine some file-systems are exported via
/etc/exports with the insecure option. The Linux box is able to mount
these file-systems correctly but the writing
performace is less than poor while reading is OK. In the Linux's logs I
find messages
like "nfs : task xxx can't get a request slot" or "nfs-server yyy is not
responding / nfs server yyy OK".
While the combination Linux 2.2.7 / AIX 4.2.1 is problematic, the same
physical connection between the Linux box and another with a 2.0.36
kernel and between AIX and 2.0.36 is OK.

Is there anyone who knows some reasons for this behaviour (not 42 ...).

I have the same problem with LINUX rh 5.2 and AIX 4.3
I found the verson of NFS is'nt the same and LINUX doesn't use LOCKD and
STATD demons.
If you find who activate this demons on LINUX, tell me please.
