NFS mount not available on all nodes

Hi,

I created an NFS mount for backups. Worked fine for a few days. Now, one of the nodes does not show it as mounted, with df. With the 'mount' command, it shows as mounted.

Any idea what's happening here?

Hi,

I found out why this happens.

1. I have 2 Proxmox Servers, both have an NFS mount (daily_backups).
2. The NFS Server Machine shuts down the NFS share for 5 seconds every day at 3:00 PM (NFS Server issue with deleted files)
3. Machine 1 keeps the NFS mount alive and active
4. Machine 2 drops the NFS link. It's still in /etc/mtab, but no longer in df.

Both servers are running the same Proxmox version. The only differences are the network cards and CPU type (AMD vs Intel).

root@proxmox-3:~# pveversion --verbose
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-114 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve)
pve-manager: 3.1-21 (running version: 3.1-21/93bf03d4)
pve-kernel-2.6.32-26-pve: 2.6.32-114

vzquota: 3.1-2
pve-qemu-kvm: 1.4-17
ksm-control-daemon: 1.1-1

I'm eventually hoping to put my Image storage on DRBD backed NFS. Which means on a DRBD failover, the NFS link will be gone for 5-10 seconds. Am I looking at trouble with this scenario? Why is one machine losing the NFS mount, and not the other?
