invalid argument when creating a file on an nfs share

invalid argument when creating a file on an nfs share

[Jeroen]

Hi all,

Whenever I try saving a file to a mounted nfs share I get the following 
error :

/mnt/home/user$ touch bla
touch: setting times of `bla': Invalid argument

it does create the file bla in the specified location but I am unsure as 
to what is causing this error.

users and groups on the client are "shared" via pam_ldap

/etc/exports on the server:

/home           192.168.0.8(rw,sync,map_identity,no_root_squash)


/etc/fstab on client:

192.168.0.12:/home/ /mnt/home nfs auto,rw 0 0

client OS is debian Etch,

Server is running debian unstable  nfs-user-server :Universal NFS Server 
2.2beta47

Regards

Jeroen

"strace -v -o dump touch bla" should tell you which command is failing,
and the exact error being returned.
