I know this is a centos forum but I suppose it would be appropriate to
ask a redhat question :-)

Is anyone aware of a NFS client/server problem with Redhat 5.1 where
the client/NFS do extra lookup() and getattr() calls? This is very
similar to CentOS' problem,
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2635


My question is, would upgrading the kernel help? or is this a userland issue?


TIA

Then read through the bug report you mentioned and try one of those
kernels. And update to 5.2 - as you won't get *any* security updates for
5.1 anymore except if you bought in for 5.1.z.

And don't top post and please trim your replies.

Then you can try the patched kernel offered by Johnny Hughes:

CentOS didn't make that problem, they inherited it from RedHat. 5.2 is
supposed to fix that. Update when you can.

you mean, your university never installs security patches and updates?!?

5.1->5.2 is as simple as `yum update`

Well you were planning to update the kernel.. you need to get the one from 5.2.

Or they no longer have RHN access. At which point, it would be better
to move to CentOS.

Thankyou everyone. I updated the 5.2 kernel onto 5.1 and everything
seems to work fine.

Thanks for all of your help and wisdom.


TIA
