I'm about to set up a network in which multiple webservers utilize a common
filesystem via NFS (with a dedicated fileserver) over 100Mbps ethernet.
Webpages and cgi scripts will all be run from NFS-mounted partitions...
All systems will be running 2.0.35. I've used NFS a lot, but never as a
full-time thing, and I've seen problems off and on, where one of
portmapper/rpc.nfsd/rpc.mountd have died and thus I lost my NFS mount.
Since the systems will rely on full-time use of NFS partition, I'm concerned
about the reliability of it.
The NFS setup I've used lately (where I've noticed intermittent problems) is
2.0.35, RedHat 5.1, using the latest nfs-server and nfs-client RPMs (don't have
those version numbers with me at the moment, but I know I picked them up from
the redhat updates directory).
Can anyone give me pointers on how to ensure the stability of NFS? (I was under
the impression NFS in 2.0.x was pretty solid).
Thanks
Ricardo
