A quick google shows its to do with CIFS (Common Internet File System). Implements a remote file-system access protocol. Are you running samba, or something similar?

Did you ever find out a reason for this?
My wifes pc started running really slowly lately and I noticed cifsoplockd and cifsdnotifyd running on my wifes pc, which are not running on mine.
The setups should be almost identical and she is getting horrendous hdparm throughput.
Also doing a which and whereis on both process cant find them?

how about `find | grep cifs`?

Besides stuff in kernel source, eg, /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r4/fs/cifs, and portage, not much of interest:
(my portage dir is nfs mounted)
| Code: |
#find / | grep cifs
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/metadata/cache/dev-java/jcifs-1.1.5
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs/Manifest
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs/files
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs/files/digest-jcifs-1.1.5
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs/files/build-xml.patch
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs/jcifs-1.1.5.ebuild
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs/ChangeLog
/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs/metadata.xml
/var/cache/edb/dep/mnt/nfs_portage/dev-java/jcifs-1.1.5
/var/cache/edb/dep/mnt/nfs_portage/dev-java/jcifs-1.1.5
/var/cache/edb/dep/mnt/nfs_portage/portage/dev-java/jcifs-1.1.5
/var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/dev-java/jcifs-1.1.5
... /usr/src/linux* results deleted ...
/proc/fs/cifs
/proc/fs/cifs/PacketSigningEnabled
/proc/fs/cifs/NTLMV2Enabled
/proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnabled
/proc/fs/cifs/ExtendedSecurity
/proc/fs/cifs/MultiuserMount
/proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled
/proc/fs/cifs/Experimental
/proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled
/proc/fs/cifs/traceSMB
/proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
/proc/fs/cifs/DebugData |
And, this is after I removed cifs options from the kernel, installed and rebooted, and I still get:
| Code: | # ps -A |grep cifs
152 ? 00:00:00 cifsoplockd
153 ? 00:00:00 cifsdnotifyd
|
But at least now it appears that they are defunct?
