Mplayer and NFS...
Part 2...
I spent a bit more time dinking around...
I bullied forth, downloaded the latest mplayer and compiled it even though TFM suggested 3+... worked like a charm. compiled, and everything seems to run perfectly.
Tragically, I'm having the same problem.
I tried 'tuning' nfs as some suggested in my last post... as well as using the 'async' option... somethings could help, but I still had the problem.
On a whim, I fired up mplayer on SuSE9.1, and then fired up top to look at the processes. Almost immediately a process called rpciod fires up, and begins consuming resources... When I try the same test on the SuSE10.0 box, a process called rpciod/0 is there, but isn't really doing anything. When I try copying a file on teh SuSE10.0 box that rpciod/0 process goes nuts in a similar way as it does with mplayer on the 9.1 box...
I can't find much on the process... does anyone know if there were changes in the process between kernels?
As far as I can tell the 10.0 version is running 2.6.13, and the 9.1 version is running 2.6.5
EDIT: this would suggest there's a kernel problem with 2.6.13 and rpciod... well I'll be damned.
