[Linux] nfs server crashing all the time

[Nico De Ranter <nico@sonycom.com>]

Howdy,

I have a Linux compilation server running in a mostly SUN and SGI
environment.  Everything is running fine except for the NFS which is
really a pain.  When I try to reach an exported filesystem from a SUN
or SGI, the nfs daemon crashes after a few minutes (well, it's still there
but it stops accepting connections).  Every once in a while the PC
completely hangs (even Ctrl-Alt-Del gave up) with a lot of messages like

   nfs warning: mount version older than kernel

on the console.

I'm running kernel 2.1.131 (ATM support) and nfs-server-2.2beta37.
I'd like to install the latest version of the nfs-server but I can't find
it (no refs in the documentation :-( ).

Any ideas where to find it or how the get the #$%#$% nfs working stable?

Thanks in advance,

Nico

ps: the server is running Redhat 5.2, but I also have nfs troubles on my
portable running debian.
