info on NFS over TCP (maybe even RPC over TCP)...

Hi,

I've another dumb question that perhaps someone can answer, when I mount
an NFS dir over TCP from a Sun server, I can read happily for about 6
mins (timing from syslog), and then the socket gets a state change, the
client goes into CLOSE_WAIT and the solaris server side goes into
FIN_WAIT_2,

So question is does anyone know what is the cause of this, the current RPC
code does not do a reconnect, but I'm wondering before I go in and fix it
whether this happening is proper and I should reconnect or whether the
socket close is the bug ..

Thanks,
Dave.
