We've seen this from time to time and every time I've tried to diagnose it, everything on both the build slave side and the NAS seemed fine.

Looping Halstead in on this as my guess is that this may have to do with NFS4 timings. 

It's hard to diagnose as there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why it occurs.
Comment 2 Beth Flanagan 2012-09-07 01:08:43 UTC
This importance is actually too high. In the rare cases we see this (once in the last month), the autobuilder is tending towards a high load.

Not saying it doesn't need to be looked at, but if anything it's infrastructure related and doesn't merit a Medium+. Medium at most (Low in reality)
Comment 3 Beth Flanagan 2012-10-16 14:47:03 UTC
I've not seen this again. Lowering autobuilder slave load seems to have resolved the issue.
Comment 4 Alexandru Georgescu 2012-10-19 13:56:33 UTC
Closing this as per Beth's last comments.
