Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 10:11:26 -0800 From: "Russell Miller" <duskglow@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: nfs NULL procedure packets Hi again, I was hoping someone here could answer another question. I apologize if these are easy questions... So a couple of days ago I was troubleshooting yet another NFS problem (not the non-one I described a few days ago). I sent a 1G file over to a server, did a TCP capture, and analyzed the results. I noticed a lot of NULL procedure packets. A *lot* of them. In some cases, one every 10 microseconds, and there were about 400,000 of them I captured. This seems like a lot of network traffic for very little reason. Is this normal behavior, or something I should investigate further? It seems to me like pinging the NFS server once every 10 microseconds is a major waste of bandwidth. --Russell -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
