Hello I am having a problem with Java 1.6 with NFS mounted home directories and I was wondering if anyone else has seen the following behaviour. Java 1.5 works fine but with Java 1.6 (e.g., java apps via the Web and javaws with EVO) the application hangs and the nfs lockd on the server is constantly receiving lock requests (although the requests have been acknowledged). This causes the rpc.lockd on the NFS server to consume almost all CPU cycles (you can see this using TOP) and the NFS server eventually crashes. The NFS server is NOT linux...it is HP-UX. HP support has spent quite a bit of time looking at the network traces and has concluded that the application (Java 1.6) on Linux is doing something wrong. If I link the user's $HOME/.java to a directory on a local disk, all works fine. If I use Java 1.5 all works fine as well. So...this might be a Java bug and/or and HP-UX NFS bug but I was just wondering... Has anyone else experienced this issue (with Linux based NFS servers) ? Does anyone have any ideas on what might be happening and/or changed from java 1.5 to java 1.6 ? Thanks for any insight Regards Rochelle Lauer Yale University
