- I have an annoying problem that (so it seems to me) started after we
- upgraded two of our NeXTs to 3.0 and started using one of them as an
- NFS server.
-
- In random intervals (approx 1/day) all the machines in our little network
- (2 NeXTs running 2.1, one of them serving /Users and /usr/spool/mail,
- 2 NeXTs running 3.0, one of them serving /LocalApps and /usr/local) will
- hang with the 'NFS server xxx not responding' message. Sometimes the
- problem goes away, sometimes you have to reboot the servers, sometimes
- one of the machines will panic. I found the following in /usr/adm/messages
- (ruble/mailhost/128.130.167.130 is the 2.1 server, moolah is the 3.0 server):

- The panic happened here (said something about ns_timeout table overflow).

- Does anybody have a hint what could be causing this?? It really starts to
- get annoying, and I have not the slightest idea what we did wrong.
