during this time i sshed to my server, phaselock, and ran top. nothing was using the CPU. not sure what happened. obviously the connection was good -- i could ssh over and run commands.

the odd thing is that in kaffeine, it keeps progressing the time index of the song, even if it can't get data. so when nfs pauses and later resumes, the song is at a different part. sometimes it is a different song becuase a pause has occured lasting beyond the end of a song.

Just noticed the same thing here - don't have a solution yet, though.
UPDATE: Check your network port settings. Either set them all to auto-negotiate, or all to a fixed speed - don't mix them.
I recently changed my ADSL router port settings to 100Mbit full-duplex (which is what the NICs were set to) but neglected to also force the NICs to 100Mbit full-duplex. This caused the NICs to fall back to 10Mbit half-duplex, crippling performance and causing packet transmission errors due to the duplex mismatch.  It mostly worked at light network loads, but showed the symptoms you described when pushed harder. |

actually, i just let the thread die since no one was interested in helping. i tried shfs for a while, and shfs isn't perfect. i eventually found the options for nfs: tcp,soft
using these options allows things to work, and this has worked for a few weeks now. simple answer, and yet no one knew about it.
from my logs
| Code: |
mosfet verilog.usr # grep nfs /var/log/messages | tail
Feb 12 23:48:40 mosfet nfs: server 146.163.219.215 OK
Feb 12 23:48:40 mosfet nfs: server 146.163.219.215 OK
Feb 12 23:48:40 mosfet nfs: server 146.163.219.215 OK

I don't play media over NFS, however I have my /usr/portage (on reiserfsv3) exported from a server to several workstations via gigabit LAN. Quite frequently I've noticed that when I use "rsync -aPv" to copy stuff into /usr/portage/distfiles on any of the clients it will pause once or twice during the transfer which is extremely annoying at 25-30mbytes/sec
However I've never seen anything relevant in the logfiles on either the client or the server.
Perhaps we can pool the information we have available and open a bug?

well, in my case i don't think i really had a "bug". it was more of a intricacy of default nfs behaviour. switching over to tcp seems to have solved the problem on my end quite nicely for streaming media. and switching to soft mode allows me to reboot the server without crashing my desktop. from my perspective, i don't see why tcp and soft aren't defaults, but i would assume there is a reason for it.
have you tried switching over to tcp? I used to have terrible pauses in streaming TV shows in mythtv. it might have been a udp issue, i'm not sure.
