Description Christian C 2013-11-15 11:19:19 CET 
Description of problem:

After successful file transfers, I move a file from a client to an NFS server and the NFS mount crash and the client graphical interface (KDE desktop) freezes.

My configuration :

NFS client (mga-3 ) : 192.168.0.1
$ cat /etc/fstab|grep 192.168.0.2
192.168.0.2:/home /mnt/asus/home nfs nolock,noauto,users,rw 0 0
$ mount|grep 192.168.0.2
192.168.0.2:/home on /mnt/asus/home type nfs4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.0.1,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.0.2)

NFS server (mga-3) : 192.168.0.2

After unmounting from another tty (umount -l /mnt/asus/home), my desktop unfreezes.
But on the server side, the network is out.
After restarting the server network (systemctl restart network.service), I can again mount my remote NFS directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always after a few file transfer


Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount the NFS directory
2. copy some files from the client to the server
3.

Comment 1 Guillaume Rousse 2013-12-31 18:29:26 CET 
Can you reproduce the issue by any kind of write access on the server, such as for instance creating an empty file through touch command ?

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

Comment 2 Christian C 2014-01-02 20:43:27 CET 
It created up to 10000 empty files on the server from the client and had no problem.
But sometimes, just transfering one file of 700 MB makes the client very slow or freeze.
Only restarting the server network (systemctl restart network.service) restores the connection and normal behaviour on the client side (unfreezing the desktop).
