I have a FreeNAS server I just set up. Has an AFP share for my Macs and NFS share for my Linux system.
I can copy 3+gigs to the AFP share from the Mac with no problems.
When I copy files from the Linux laptop (openSuSE 11.4), network connectivity drops, wired or wireless. No info in dmesg output either. When I init 6 my laptop it goes all the way through “turning off swap” but does not finish rebooting. :-/
I’m very stumped. Anyone have a clue as to whats goin on?
Here is the mount on the Linux laptop:
192.168.1.11:/mnt/StorageA on /mnt/a type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.1.11,mountvers=3,mountport=899,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.11)
Please, all computer text (like the mount you show) between CODE tags. And complete withe the command you gave to get it. Posting in Code Tags - A Guide

What do you mean, ‘network connectivity drops’? On the NFS server or
client? What evidence have you seen (i.e. computer output from
diagnostic commands, please)

Is there any output in /var/log/messages?

Why would you be doing this and does it have any connection to the NFS
problem?

My crystal ball doesn’t work very well on Monday mornings.
network connectivity drops regardless of how I try to copy.
I have a Solaris 10 box and I setup a NFS share there (to eliminate the FreeNAS server as the culprit)…but the same thing happened there. just issuing a “touch a.a” in the NFS mounted share and it just sits there. I’m stumped.
If nobody can figure it out, no big deal, its quite frustrating and I’d rather just pass on this if its too hard to figure out.
Let us elaborate a bit on “the network drops”. You allready said that ping of any partner in the LAN returns that all packets are lost.
What about the status of your network device? Post the output of

Well, no actually. We didn’t even get that much information! …

Networks have at least two endpoints. In your case, we know you have at
least three - a laptop, a FreeNAS and a router (later - we know you also
have a SPARC). So please tell us from where you attempted to ping your
router. And further, since you appear to be incapable of accurate,
complete summaries, please provide computer output as already requested,
rather than your paraphrase.

As long as you keep failing to provide the details we ask for, nobody
will be able to help you.
Incapable? Since this forum is actually interesting to me, I wont bite on your troll bait with what I REALLY want to say.
I’m still debugging on my own. If I need your help I’ll reply…in the meantime…have some liquor & lighten up.
@hcvv:
thanks for the reply… still doing research on my own. I dont like asking for help since I usually end up figuring it out after I post, just havent had time to get back to testing/debugging.
I went ahead and wiped out 12.1 and reinstalled from scratch. What I had originally done was upgrade from 11.4 → 12.1. That didnt fix the issue. I definitely remember setting up my laptop as an NFS server in 11.1 and 11.3 without a hitch AND copying TO another server which was setup as a server. The issue happened in 11.4.
To rule out laptop hardware, I went out and downloaded debian 64bit, installed, configured…mounted NFS share and copied to it. No problems. Being that I’m not a Gnome3.x, I’m finding it difficult to switch back to 12.1 openSuSE. I wouldnt mind running 11.3 but…how long will it be supported?
I still have my original drive from my laptop and am considering installing 11.3 to double check the NFS issue. I might do that to see if it is a 11.4 introduced bug. Being that Turkey day is coming up…this is on low priority, especially since its up and running fine on debian.
