Hello all,
I spent the day tracking down my NFS lockd hangs that I'm seeing on a
RHEL5 server, and finally found them described in this errata from
Sept of 2008:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0885.html
The fix is in the RHEL5 kernel 2.6.18-92.1.13. I see that the latest
Lustre RPMs are at 2.6.18-92.1.10; I'm curious how often the RHEL5
RPMs are updated to track the kernel bugfixes.
I'm guessing short term I will have to rebuild my RHEL kernel from
sources, or use the patchless kernel. (The machine in question is
currently an NFS server for a bunch of bioinformatics pipeline job
data; we are in the midst of acquiring a Lustre server to host this
data, and in the meantime I have a small test Lustre server cluster
set up which is why I've got the Lustre kernel on it).
thanks for any advice,
--bob
