RHEL6: NFS mounts become unresponsive when NFS server experiences repeated hardware.py python backtrace / abrt
Issue
- RPC-data reaches NFSD but it seems to stall while doing svc_authenticate
- NFS server TCP ACKs NFS client requests, then silently drops them, never responding at the NFS layer.
- NFS mounts on NFS clients periodically hang with visible in
/var/log/messages:
kernel: nfs: server hostname not responding, still trying
- On the NFS server, there are the below messages just before each above messages from the client side, indicating the nfs server is experiencing repeated instances of https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/506353

Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (NFS Server)
- rhn-client-tools
- between rhn-client-tools-1.0.0.1-4.el6 and rhn-client-tools-1.0.0.1-16.el6
- sos (sosreport)
- between sos-2.2-29.el6 and before sos-2.2-47.el6
- sos-2.2-29.el6 includes fix for 'Bug 730641 - sosreport does not collect /proc/net details', and introduces the regression
- sos-2.2-47.el6 fixes the regression in 'Bug 913201 - sosreport can potentially cause an RPC failure when copying RPC channel files'
