I am using kernel 2.4.12 with a reiser fs and nfs server& client built-in kernel , not as module. i try it with different versions of kernels and i find the same problem i have the /home exported to a machine that have the same configuration in hard as the machine that exports the directory and with the same vers. of kernel and same options. In the second machine ( the one that gets the /home from the machine that exports ) if a try to move large files ( 30-40 mb or more ) it begins downloading at good ratio,but few seconds after, it begins to down the ratio going in local network at 40 kbs/sec when the normal is 2000kb/s or more When im downloading the file or uploading , the kernel say this Oct 16 12:33:00 xxxxx kernel: nfs: server xxxxx1 not responding, still trying Oct 16 12:33:00 xxxxx kernel: nfs: server xxxxx1 OK Oct 16 12:34:05 xxxxx kernel: nfs: server xxxxx1 not responding, still trying Oct 16 12:34:05 xxxxx kernel: nfs: server xxxxx1 OK I think it isnt a network problem because i make all the possible tests between the two machines and it seems all ok ( network card , pings , etc.. ) Trying to copy a archive from xxxxx to xxxxx1 it have the same prob. So , the prob is in the machine that gets the home exported,but what is the prob? I dont know what to do,maybe its a hard problem ?? I hope anything could help me here Thanx all
