WARNING: rfs3call

Hi.

In an environment with a Fedora3 (2.6.11.3 kernel) serving NFS to several IRIX (6.5.21) boxen, I occasionally see the following messages in the IRIX system's syslogs:

Aug 15 16:03:42 4A:K6 unix: WARNING: rfs3call: file temporarily unavailable on the server s2, retrying...
Aug 15 17:44:48 4A:K6 unix: WARNING: rfs3call: file temporarily unavailable on the server s2, retrying...
Aug 15 17:46:07 4A:K6 unix: WARNING: rfs3call: file temporarily unavailable on the server s2, retrying...

Some of the IRIX boxen weather these messages well, while others (onyx2 and octane1) will hang for a while.

All of these systems reside on the same gigabit ethernet switch.

The line in the IRIX boxen fstab looks like this :

s2:/array /ocean nfs rw,soft,bg,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp 0 0

Things seemed to be working nicely for a long time, and I cannot identify any specific change to the network or machines that may have led to these messages.

Many thanks for any thoughts or input - please reply to my email address directly as I do not subscribe to the list.

Thanks,

Scott
