NFS client hangs when write


Ok, the subject is strange and sorry for my bad english. But I have
this problem:

I have installed SLES 9 SP2 (try SP3 with same result) in a Dell PowerEdge 2800. I have setup 2
NFS directory: /home/ and /var/sharing/ with normal option
(rw,root_squash,sync). And the server is LDAP server for my user
(login), too. I have installed SUSE 10.0 (not opensuse) onto the client
and mount /home and /var/sharing. The problem is: when I write a file
into NFS share my client freeze/hangs. I can do only a brutal reset.
I have tried to change root_squash to no_root_squash and sync to async.
Nothing. Same Problem.

I have make another test: boot clien, before try to write into NFS
share, I "restart" the NFS server service. Magically the write works.

I have make some other test and I have found a strange thing:

- Boot server,
- boot client.
- From client (via console)
- login with root account,
- make a ssh connection to the server
- into the server I exec tail -f /var/log/message
- From client (via X11) login with user account (/home/ is via NFS)
NO FREEZE!!!!!!!!!!

Plz Help me.

Ah, my network is a "internal network", so I have not a gateway for
internet, no DNS. Only IP. I have tried to insert the IP-NameMachine
into /etc/hosts, but the result is the same.

Please please please, help me.

M.

I have had this behaviour when the client wants to use NFS locking but the server didn't provide it. That's one thing you could check.

2 questions:

1) Can you post the line you have in /etc/exports that enables nfs client access from your server?
2) Are you surethat your ldap client is running on the client machine?

Standard *(rw,no_root_squash,sync).
I have tried with async too.

Yes. I can login with normal user into the client. And a "ls -la" report correct user-group for files.

Ah, I have notice this: when I log into client I can list the directory, cd into subdir, delete the files without freeze/hangs, but this two line freeze:

$ touch somedata > filenime
$ dir
[freeze/hang]

Tnx.

Check your client machine's /etc/passwd file. Do the uid and gid numbers match what's stored for this same id in /etc/passwd on your nfs server?
