Cc: "Trond Myklebust" , nfs@lists.sourceforge.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I have some webservers that have recently started reporting the following message in their logs : do_vfs_lock: VFS is out of sync with lock manager! The serveres kernels were upgraded to 2.6.17.8 and since the upgrade the message started appearing. The servers were previously running 2.6.13.4 without experiencing this problem. Nothing has changed except the kernel. I've googled a bit and found this mail (http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/8/23/254) from Trond saying that "The above is a lockd error that states that the VFS is failing to track your NFS locks correctly". Ok, but that doesn't really help me resolve the issue. The servers are indeed running NFS and access their apache DocumentRoots from a NFS mount. Is there anything I can do to help track down this issue? -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
