(Linux NFSv4 Client)
Purpose
The Linux NFSv4 client has encountered several issues which have been frequently reported to Oracle Linux Support.
Specific configurations or kernel software versions experience hangs (sometimes crashes) when using NFSv4, but are stable under NFSv3. This document describes what environments are at risk of these issues, and how to mitigate them.
Scope
Specific affected environments include:
- Oracle Linux 5.x on any kernel: RHCK (2.6.18-*), UEK1 (2.6.32-*), UEK2 (2.6.39-*)
- Oracle Linux 6.x on some kernels: UEK1 (2.6.32-*.el6uek), UEK2 (2.6.39-*), but not RHCK (2.6.32-*.el6)
This document also describes best practices to avoid minor issues on:
- Oracle Linux 6.x on some kernels: UEK3 (3.8.13-*)
- Oracle Linux 7.x on some kernels: UEK3 (3.8.13-*)
