Hi ,
        I've a very big problem with a file system .
        
        here is the context :
        3 Alphaservers 5.1pk3 , 5.1pk3 & 4.0Fpk6
        I had an Advfs file system prof_dmn#prof_fs 
        profs_dmn#prof_fs              71132000    18829348    52187840    27%    /prof
        local on a 5.1 server and exported by NFS to the others.
        I had a problem on one of the NFS client :
        vmunix: NFS3 RFS3_GETATTR failed for server phobos: RPC: Timed out
        I was unable to access to the mounted file system.
        up to there , I suspected a NFS / network Pb ....
        BUT :
        the server machine seems to run fine  and when I access the /prof fs on the server
        the session crashes.
        There are others FS exported front this server and I can access to these others
        FS on the clients.
        The Pb seems to be local the the fs profs_dmn#prof_fs .
        I've done a verify , defragments ... a vdump and vrestore from one machine
        to another (also in 5.1 ) but the Pb is always there . I even tried to tar/detar files
        to a new domain .
        I did not try to move this FS on the 4.0F machine, perhaps it could help.
        I now suspect a size Pb . is this fs too big for NFS ?
        I've got biggers FS exported and used with no Pb but these FS are on the 4.0F machine.
        could it be a FS size Pb on the 5.1 server ?
        There is nothing in the logs on the server and even a soft reboot does not succeed,
        I must powerdown the machine to reboot.
        
                TIA , Reg/
