Hi,

I'm having trouble with the NFS. I get messages that say:

nfs: task can't get a request slot

When I get this messages, the nfs connection is unusable. The worst part 
is that home directories are served with this NFS connection!!!

I've seen on Kernel list that this is an I/O problem or something to do 
with network card configuration.

Do you guys have ever seen something like this? Have you ever solved 
this?

The NFS server:

Red Hat Linux 7.3 up to date
2.4.18-3 #1 i686 unknown
nfs-utils-0.3.3-5
P-4 1.7 GHz
256 MB RAM
Pelnty of disk space on exported  directories and on /var/log
load average: 0.02, 0.02, 0.00
Mem:   255780K av,  247976K used,    7804K free,       0K shrd,   57652K
