If you decide to use this workaround, be sure to download the latest version of nfs-server from the RedHat errata site. The version on the 5.2 CDROM has some known security holes. I experience this bug fairly frequently. I think the way to "fix" it is to stop NFS, edit /var/lib/nfs/xtab, restart NFS and pray that the "port in use" bug doesn't bite you. If the second bug DOES bite, reboot. It appears that linux NFS is stateful which is absolutely abominable. It appears that the machine which is failing to mount should be turned off while you turn off NFS, edit the server's xtab and rmtab to remove references to the powered-off client, then reactivate NFS. assigned to johnsonm I am closing 5689 because I am unable to duplicate it on our cross mounts between Solaris 7 and Linux 7.3 machines. I am feeling that this was 'closed' during the change from 2.2->2.4 kernels or the various nfs changes from 2.4.7->2.4.19. |
