RHEL6.3: "Input/output error" writing files with NFSv4 and NFS4ERR_BADXDR seen in tcpdump

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We get an error when writing to files on NFSv4 on EMC SAN. The problem occurs on kernel version 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 and higher. Kernel 2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64 and below does not have the problem.
[username@hostname ~]$ cd /mnt
[username@hostname mnt]$ echo "xx" > testfile
-bash: testfile: Input/output error

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
    • kernel 2.6.32-279.el6 and above
  • NFSv4 mounted filesystem
  • NFS export shared from EMC SAN
