Problem: syslog reports inode not found errors Scenario: We need to give access to files stored on a NetWare server to several Solaris 2.7 servers. We cannot change the NetWare servers in any way which precludes installing NetWare NFS. NetWare is v4.11. Proposed solution was to mount the NetWare volumes on a Linux machine and export them via NFS. Sun systems will then mount exported NFS shares. All appears well until the Sun systems need to access a file after initial cataloging of the directory. We then see large numbers of 'Inode not found' messages in the Linux syslog, the desired file has no file information associated with it (ls -al fails) and the Sun Server cannot open the file.
Reassigned to kernel; that's where the filesystem is actually implemented.
Importing via NCPfs and exporting via NFS isnt possible to do a lack of stable inode handles.
