I have a YDL (ppc linux) nfs server kernel. Client is SUSE x86 box. Am
exporting slashcode dir to x86 box. After a couple of minuites I get the
message in logs:
Dec xx 22:44:29 heretic kernel: nfs: task nnn can't get a request clot
(where xx is a date and nnn is a nfs task number) And the process (ie
'ls') locks.
The sourceforge NFS page says:
> kernel: nfs: task 10754 can't get a request slot
> kernel: nfs: server server.domain.name OK
>

However this is not at all (yet) a high volume machine.
Any ideas??
