If the server hits NFSRV_V4STATELIMIT for a total count of opens and locks (defined in sys/fs/nfs/nfsport.h) it will stop doing opens and pretty well come to a grinding halt. The default of 500000 seems pretty generous, but since it was chosen to avoid resource exhaustion on a single core PIII with 256Mbytes of RAM, increasing it is probably safe for more modern server hardware. (You'll need to edit sys/fs/nfs/nfsport.h and rebuild a kernel. It isn't a sysctl.) rick > Lars > > On Jun 29, 2013, at 2:32, Rick Macklem <rmacklem_at_uoguelph.ca> wrote: > > > Lars Eggert wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >> on a -CURRENT client, I get quite a number of console messages > >> under > >> heavy NFSv4 load, such as: > >> > >> nfsv4 expired locks lost > > Means the lease expired on the NFSv4 server somehow.
