Hi all

I am running an 8-node beowulf cluster with RedHat
6.0, upgraded to kernel 2.2.10-12 + MOSIX.

Recently I modified the setup so that all nodes
nfs mount the /home directory from the master
node. Since then I have been getting the following
error repeated on the master node's console:

find_fh_dentry: 03:05, 655504/655522 not found - need full search!

this is repeated MANY times, interspersed with
reports of various daemons running out of
memory,until I am unable to even login from the
console:

out of memory for mingetty

I assume that this is a manifestation of the knfsd
problems experienced with 2.2.10 and since. Could
anyone suggest what the quickest/best fix is for
this? Is there a kernel patch? Do I have to
upgrade? Have the knfsd problems been sorted out
in later kernel releases?

Thanks for taking the time ...

Mark
