  • Reported by: Matthew Breeze (August 25, 2009)
  • Fixed by: Trond Myklebust (August 28, 2009)

Symptoms

  • Fedora 10 machine and a Sun OS machine.
  • The Sun OS machine exports a ZFS filesystem (pool) to the Fedora 10 machine, which mounts it using a NFS v4 mount
    • /etc/fstab: melon:/melon1 /melon1 nfs4 rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr

  • Kernel panic when rsyncing to the mounted directory
  • No ill effects on the Sun OS machine

Cause

  • Need to retransmit the entire request when xprt_transmit fails with a network error.

Resolution
