I've been trying to mount filesystems between a server with an
NE-2000 Ethernet card, running 1.1.88 and a client with the same
type card but running 1.1.86. Occasionally the mounts would
work and I could see files. Very quickly, however, access to
files would give I/O Error and trying an 'ls' on a mounted
directory (and even /proc for some reason) would just wait for
ever (could interrupt with ctrl/c) and I noticed packets like
crazy on the network. Essentially dead! Usually before it
would hang, I'd do an 'ls' and just get no files - a seemingly
empty directory.
Re-booting the server with 1.1.87 fixed the problem! I couldn't
see any NFS changes in the patch88, so I'm a bit puzzled. Maybe
it's coinsidence that it worked suddenly with the older kernel.
Can anyone explain what (might have) happened, or what might
cause this kind of behaviour?
