Re: Strange very high load



   Hi!
As far as I understood from linux-networking list, the problem with eepro100
hasn't been solved yet.
My machines are nfs clients , but maybe the same thing happens with a server as
well. What I have done
is canceled nfs over tcp ( that I used before) and used nfs v.2  ( there is a flag
in mount ~nfsvers=2)
It increased the stability but still the hangs happen sometimes. Maybe try to
check SGI patches for NFS3
I gave up for awhile, linux nfs implementation sux!
