My computer uses another server to boot and run with NFS root. During normal work I notice strange NFS errors. Please tell me what causes these errors and how I can resolve them. Example 1: I executed these commands directly after another. cotto@carsten-otto:/home/cotto/.mozilla/firefox$ l ls: .: Permission denied cotto@carsten-otto:/home/cotto/.mozilla/firefox$ l total 8.0K drwx------ 6 cotto users 4.0K Jul 24 21:03 eir51v0r.default ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? la2v5nug.default ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? pluginreg.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 cotto users 94 Jul 24 21:03 profiles.ini ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? v1q37ws3.default cotto@carsten-otto:/home/cotto/.mozilla/firefox$ l total 20K drwx------ 6 cotto users 4.0K Jul 24 21:03 eir51v0r.default drwx------ 3 cotto users 4.0K Jul 24 21:03 la2v5nug.default -rw------- 1 cotto users 286 Jul 24 20:57 pluginreg.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 cotto users 94 Jul 24 21:03 profiles.ini drwx------ 6 cotto users 4.0K Jul 24 21:04 v1q37ws3.default Example 2: GAIM shows "Could not read file: somewhere.txt" when scrolling through the list of archived conversations. Example 3: Firefox crashes a lot during normal surfing, sometimes even the profile gets lost. Example 4: I get a lot of "do_vfs_lock: VFS is out of sync with lock manager!" during the day. Example 5: Some ./configure && make runs do not complete, because files are missing. Running the command in a chroot locally on the server (which has the disk drives) everything works. The client (without disk drives) uses 2.6.17.6, but I have this problem with several kernel versions. The kernel is running 2.6.18-rc1-mm2, but here again the problem occurs with several versions. The client runs Debian testing, the server runs Debian stable (Sarge). The network connection in between is: (Client) Intel e1000 PCI <-> HP Procurve 2824 (Gigabit) <-> Intel e1000 PCI= e (Server) x:~# rpcinfo -p server Program Vers Proto Port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 4 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs 100021 1 udp 32768 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 32768 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 32768 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 43642 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 43642 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 43642 nlockmgr 100005 1 udp 779 mountd 100005 1 tcp 782 mountd 100005 2 udp 779 mountd 100005 2 tcp 782 mountd 100005 3 udp 779 mountd 100005 3 tcp 782 mountd 100024 1 udp 877 status 100024 1 tcp 880 status I enabled nfs4 in the kernels, but do not use it yet (as a lot of changes are needed in userspace). mount shows: server:/export on / type nfs (rw,soft,tcp,intr) Thanks a lot, --=20 Carsten Otto c-otto@gmx.de www.c-otto.de --d01dLTUuW90fS44H Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFExRxcjUF4jpCSQBQRAkjyAKCXTZmU39YwQxg88zFKMXH+JfbauACfbXXa CJkV91NibjI+cvZBFGYr6ds= =2+sJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --d01dLTUuW90fS44H--
