Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I have a debian server with NFS share, and two FC3 clients, one vanilla FC3 and one ccrma. I keep both relatively up to date, i probably update each box weekly.<BR>
<BR>
On the vanilla box I have no problems accessing the share. <BR>
<BR>
On the ccrma box I am having a lot of problems accessing the share.<BR>
<BR>
The cat5 running between these machine is probably not over 20 yards, and I can always ping the server fine from either box.<BR>
<BR>
Sometimes I transfer large files from my ccrma box onto the share. It is not typical that these files are >4 GB. Sometimes I leave the share mounted for long periods of time with files open or terminal window open. <BR>
<BR>
The problem arises when the terminal window quits responding to requests to access that share. If I perform 'umount /mnt/pubshare -f' it just says "device or resource busy" or something to that effect, and I am unable to unmount the share. There are no open apps that I can see that are using part of the mounted resource, and I am not in that directory when I try to unmount. If I perform 'fuser -v /mnt/pubshare' it hangs. At that point, running 'umount' from a different terminal will release the hang, but it will complain of Input/output error rather than giving me result of fuser, and it still will not let me umount.<BR>
<BR>
Meanwhile from the other FC3 box the NFS share is responding just fine. <BR>
<BR>
Any ideas? Is there anything about the ccrma setup that should make this situation different from my vanilla FC3? Is there some troubleshooting I can do, or some log file that will show the problem I am having with the nfs share? if I run nfsstat, the output looks normal, even when the box is having the connection problem. <BR>
<BR>
The only way out for now is to reboot. Any ideas appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!
