RPC errors after NFS server restart - Why ?

Hi folks,
We are running a Linux NFS server (Redhat 7.2).
Nfsutils version is : 1.0.5-1

Most of our clients are Solaris 8 SUN boxes.

If I stop NFS services on the Linux server (rpc.mountd nfsd rpc.quotad
rpc.statd lockd) and then restart them soon after we are seeing a
problem
with the filemgr application (the OpenWindows file manager).
When you start the app it takes a long time to start. I then scroll
down the files in my home area (automounted) and it starts to hang.
In the console window where I started the app I see RPC timeout
errors.
Eventually the filemgr comes back to life with my home area files
visible
but then if I scroll down again I see the same problem.

Would be most grateful for any help with this

Many thanks
Paul Porcelli
