Locking access to file system when NFS is being used
Hello,
I have a problem which can be encountered from time to time and is not easy for replication. It looks like the file system (or rather part of it - I'm not sure which one) cannot be accessible from any application for several seconds/minutes. For example krusader or mc when launched, freeze until this "lock" disappears. When already launched, file managers or applications using some of the "locked" files also freeze.
When freezed I can still use some apps or open a new session (konsole, ssh or NX) and it works until I try to open some files. Even typing 'ls' makes the konsole session irresponsive.
I'm not quite sure, but probably this begun when I started to use a new NAS as a storage mounted using async NFS protocol. However this problem does not apply only to NAS stored files but also to local ones (also local /home dir is affected).
It is not a server/hardware issue - recently it was replaced with a new one. This same problem was encountered (even much more often) on Mandriva 2010.2/64 as well as Mandriva 2011.0/64 (now being used). I use Mdv on many computers for many years and never seen such problem.
I have no idea what to investigate to get rid of it? Any idea would be appreciated,
Sincerely,
Ujejski
