Be warned that changing the mount option to soft may well (eventually)
cause data corruption. This would be an absolute last resort as you
probably don't want a lot of people banging on your door complaining
the file they were working on is now shagged.

Whilst I can't offer much help in the way of precise instructions to
track down the precise cause of the problem, can I point you towards
http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/NFS-troubleshooting-2.html if
you've not already seen it. There's some pretty useful, sensible
advice there.

I'm typing as someone who has had the same NFS mount vanish up it's
own mountd on an AIX box in the last 4 weeks, on a very large AIX box
(128Gb Ram) with no-more than me using it and bzipping some large
files... poof. Still trying to work out what the problem is with that
sod...

Hello!

When I installed 3.4.2, I had boot and shutdown problems in two computers
(another six went fine), so I downgraded them to back to 3.3.8.

I have just upgraded to 3.4.3, and it failed again. Commenting out
nfs-common and nfs-server made them work again. Now the systems work fine,
but I would like to have my nfs servers back (nfs client still works). :-)

I have only found this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143419
describing the exact symptoms, but no solution yet. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Guillermo Leira

Well, no answers so far. Anyway, it seems that version 3.3.4 fixed this
problem, more or less. I can start my nfs server in both computers, although
some glitches remain: If I try to poweroff or reboot very soon (before netfs
has finished trying to mount CIFS and NFS remote folders), the system hangs.
I just have to wait for some minutes before trying to reboot or poweroff.

I have seen that there are a lot of nfs fixes in the kernel change log. One
or some of them must be related to this, I suppose.

Best Regards,
