Re: Neighbour Table Overflow on NFS Server

I may be completely off-base here, but I seem to recall getting some of
these a long time ago.  At the time I think it was cause by a lack of a
loopback device and routes.

Navin,
 The message "neighbour table overflow" is the result of some
changes to the IP stack software in Linux version 2.2.x +. This
simply means that you are unable to connect to your NFS
server.  It may be related to the driver, but it may also be
related to other issues, such as NFS server not running or
incorrectly installed, no physical connectivity to NFS server,
etc.  Check the configuration of your NFS server and IP
network before diving into the driver.

Hello,

I have been debugging my custom 823 board. I have an NFS Server setup on
which my kernel on the board mounts. I have using this server without any
problems for more than a month. All of the sudden, my NFS Server complains
of "Neighbour Table overflow" . The NFS Server was not modified, nor
restarted. The error also says that the Server returned error -5.  Can
someone suggest any remedy for this problem?

Sincerely,
Navin Boppuri
