Hello Taroon-list,

  Running  Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 8)

  Kernels - on one box tired 2.4.21-47.EL 2.4.21-40.EL and 2.4.21-37.0.1.EL
           on another 2.4.21-40.ELsmp
 
  Hardware - IBM 1U rack mounted boxes (x-305 iirc)  
    Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz

  Last night something happened - A network event possibly.  Since then:

  On attempting to reboot my machines they fail to come up all the way.
They stop in netfs.  They do come up all the way if I `chkconfig netfs off'.

  *BUT*   if I then log in and type
mount -a -t nfs &
  the mount process hangs - in state D.

  However if I type
mount -a -t nfs &
  *again* this time it succeeds quite normally.  Disks are mounted.  All
is well.

  This has been seen on two machines so far.

  The first mount process is still in D:

# ps auxww | grep mount
root 1880 0.0 0.0 3776 812 pts/0 D 10:48 0:00 mount -a -t nfs
root 2532 0.0 0.0 3688 672 pts/0 S 11:18 0:00 grep mount
#

  I'm really really puzzled.

  Turning off iptables made no difference.  The NFS server machines can
be pinged successfully with a range of packet sizes before, during and after
the mount attempts.  No software has been changed that we know about.  The NFS
mounts are of disks only used by an application.  /bin/mount, indeed all the
AS3 files, are on a local hard disk.

# dmesg | grep eth

tg3: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.

  Syslog only says:
Sep 6 10:48:54 <name> kernel: nfs: server <othername> not responding, still
trying

  Does anybody have any clues ?

Keith
