Comment 1 Martin Nagy 2008-04-24 15:58:41 UTC

Works for me. Could you try this with a local file system? Also, could you
provide the output of grep -v ^# /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf ? Thanks.

Comment 2 R Gillman 2008-04-28 09:07:39 UTC

The ID used, tssftptest, has a local home directory; a subdirectory is
NFS-mounted, and a GET of a file in the subdirectory fails. Curiously, the GET
of the same file succeeds when done from the system, but with a 60 second pause.

Comment 3 Jiri Skala 2009-04-17 11:35:17 UTC

I tested it but I was not successful to reproduce it. Is there some non-described circumstance what could be a trigger of the issue (e.g. load)?

Comment 4 R Gillman 2009-08-18 13:51:26 UTC

The problem still exists. It is not load, top reports 97% idle.

Comment 5 Jiri Skala 2010-04-06 14:57:22 UTC

I'm not able to reproduce the issue therefore I'm convinced that source of the issue is not in vsftpd. There is more possible sources responsible for this difficulty.

Please try following things:
- check for SE linux state. Swich SE linux to permissive mode (setenforce 0). Chceck for/provide me /var/log/messages both servers (ftp and nfs)
- check for firewall of both servers
- check for nfs configuration
- check output of netstat
- if it's no SE linux, firewall and nfs configuration issue it would be helpful to get traffic on the ftp server.

selinux is off.

There is a firewall between the client and the fileserver. It is configured to allow NFS. I can ls the directory from the client.

Network traffic is light.

Comment 7 Jiri Skala 2010-04-08 14:59:47 UTC

There is currently no info leading to fix your issue. I've seen only one info that seems to be important - 60 seconds delay when the getting file is successful.

Well, I think you should try following steps in sequence:
- try mounting with nolock option
- if no progress try disable iptables (both servers)
- if it don't fix it send me NFS server info (OS, NFS ver.) and NFS configuration

Comment 8 R Gillman 2010-04-12 15:14:05 UTC

Thank you. When I added the nolock option to the entry in /etc/fstab, both the need to use passive mode and the 60 second wait disappeared. The system is now behaving as expected.

Comment 9 Jiri Skala 2010-04-12 16:06:18 UTC

Good! Thanks for info. Now it can be closed with status 'notabug'.
