Agustin, you'll need to do a bit of work to track down the reason that the solaris clients are having trouble here. Would it be possible for you to open a case with RH support and work with them to diagnose this a bit further?

We will try to debug the problem. Help is always welcome. Thanks. My first step would be to attempt to reproduce one of the problems you're seeing while watching the network traffic with wireshark. Even if you're not an expert on the NFS protocol there may still be some obvious problem (for example, you may see the client attempting some operation and the server returning an error). It would be useful to know what the problem is. Created attachment 627267 [details]
Some logs from the rpcdebug
I have made some tests with Wireshark for the NFS traffic and I cannot find any relevant information for the problem. I have also performed some tests with the debug tool "rpcdebug". This log file contains the results of the command "rpcdebug -m nfsd -s proc fh" in the NFS server when I run some applications in the Solaris clients.
Thanks.
Are you exporting ext4? If so, does turning off the dir_index feature help? (unmount, then tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/whatever) (In reply to comment #6) > Are you exporting ext4? > > If so, does turning off the dir_index feature help? > > (unmount, then tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/whatever) Ok. We have performed different tests on a nfs test server (exporting a ext4 LV) and we can confirm it does work if we turn off the dir_index feature. The problematic applications in the Solaris clients can access to dir contents. Now we have to schedule the change in the production server. Thank you so much. Note the disadvantage to turning off dir_index is that you may see worse performance on very large directories. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 857525 *** |
