We use vmware ESXi, and we were crippled by this bug (we had to rebuild several systems back to karmic because they were so unusable). Somewhere in the past month a kernel upgrade seems to have resolved this issue for us. We could reproduce this problem easily:
We use vmware ESXi, and we were crippled by this bug (we had to rebuild several systems back to karmic because they were so unusable). Somewhere in the past month a kernel upgrade seems to have resolved this issue for us. We could reproduce this problem easily:
Remote System:
cat /dev/zero | nc -w 4 -l -p 5000
Vmware lucid system:
nc othersystem 5000 > /path/on/nfs
That could reproduce the issue in a few seconds. Now that runs for 30+mins w/o any issues, and our "real world" scenario use case appears fixed too.
