RHEL6: If /proc/net/rpc/auth.unix.gid/channel is referred, the RPC time-out is generated.
Issue
- Running sosreport on the NFS server causes NFS server to temporarily not respond to NFS client.
- NFS server TCP ACKs NFS client requests, then silently drops them, never responding at the NFS layer.
- NFS times out periodically with the following message seen in the log
kernel: nfs: server nfsserver not responding, still trying
- If /proc/net/rpc/auth.unix.gid/channel is referred, the RPC time-out is generated e.g.
