>Description:
I have FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE/i386 as NFS UDP client
and FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE/amd64 as NFS server.
In /etc/fstab I have:
syslog:/backup /backup nfs rw,soft,intr,mntudp,noauto 0 0
With these options, I can get small and medium files from NFS server
but transfer of large files using rsync always fails:
# rsync -av --delete /backup /data/write
sending incremental file list
backup/system/20120429/
backup/system/20120429/rddtool-20120429.tbz
rsync: read errors mapping "/backup/system/20120429/rddtool-20120429.tbz": Operation timed out (60)
A workaround is to use '-r=1024,-w=1024' mount options,
then files transfer just fine.
Meantime, ping -D -s 1472 runs just fine withous a loss.
When this error occures, "netstat -ss -p ip" shows that
'fragments dropped (dup or out of space)' increases with tens
and hundreds packets.
Both servers and client were upgraded top 8.3-STABLE
using RELENG_8 sources of 4 May 2012.
The same for NFS server based on 7.4-STABLE/i386.
