Hello, I'm back with these NFS problems.... Server and client have been updated but it still rise time to time. server is: Linux robin.legi.grenoble-inp.fr 3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 26 15:27:06 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux client is : Linux grivola.legi.grenoble-inp.fr 3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 26 15:27:06 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core) each. It seams related to an scp session: the NFS client downloads a large data set from a remote server and store the files on it's NFS file system. On the client I have such messages in /var/log/messages: Aug 28 10:03:08 grivola kernel: INFO: task scp:78495 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Aug 28 10:03:08 grivola kernel: "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Even a ssh session or the local console (via IDRAC or screen/keyboard physically plugged on the server) do not work. I have no special messages on the NFS server.
