[Bug 1327563] Re: Long timeout when mounting NFS shares

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
** Description changed:

  Summary:
  
  After upgrading the kernel on Ubuntu 14.04 to 3.13.0-29-generic I found
- it can take considerable longer time to mount NFS shares.
+ that it can take a considerable longer amount of time to mount NFS
+ shares.
  
  How to reproduce:
  
  1. Install Ubuntu 14.04 on two machines. A minimal server install should be fine. One will act as a server, the other as a client.
  2. Upgrade the kernel on the client machine to at least 3.13.0-27-generic.
  3. Install the nfs-kernel-server package on the server.
  4. Add a directory to /etc/exports and run service nfs-kernel-server start.
  5. Install the nfs-common package on the client.
  6. Attempt to mount the shared directory on the client.
  
  Expected result:
  
  The shared directory should be mounted on the client more or less
- immediately
+ immediately.
  
  Actual result:
  
  The mount command hangs and eventually completes. In this test case it
  takes 16 seconds consistently. On a production machine where the problem
- was first discovered the time is considerably longer.
+ was first discovered the time is considerably longer and essentially
+ makes it impossible to mount NFS shares.
  
  Regression:
  
  I have been able to reproduce the problem on clients running Linux
- 3.13.0-27-generic and later. The problem is not reproducable on clients
- running Linux 3.13.0-24-generic. The problem is reproducable no matter
+ 3.13.0-27-generic and later. The problem is not reproducible on clients
+ running Linux 3.13.0-24-generic. The problem is reproducible no matter
  which kernel version is used on the server.
