Is this behavior expected from rpc.lockd, or might it be a > bug (or just me breaking my systems again)? wow I think you just told me why my two busiest NFS servers had to be rebooted a few months ago (one with 440 days of uptime :( ). Does the mount fail with "mount: Can't assign requested address"? If so, it also happens on 4.x servers. Currently, they have 214 and 109 open reserved ports (after 102 and 73 days uptime, respectively), and I'm betting there are no more than 5 files actually locked on either system. I wonder if it's just not closing sockets when it's done with them? -- Dan Nelson dnelson_at_allantgroup.comReceived on Thu Jan 15 2004 - 14:07:17 UTC
