What was done prior to this? Ganesha must be hung somewhere. We probably need a core dump.
I've hopped on the system and looked at the Ganesha process with gdb. Nothing seems to be wrong, yet Ganesha doesn't process any RPC calls. I'm not sure how to figure out what might be wrong. We may need a set of repeatable steps to re-create so we can enable various debug while recreating.
Just to be clear, we definitely need the set of steps to re-create and verification that it is indeed reproducible. We will have to enable debug etc. while re-creating in order to have any hope of determining the cause and thence how to fix it.
I have brought up Ganesha on a clean system and do not see this issue. We need a clean set of instructions that reproduce the problem from a clean system so that we can then enable various debug during Ganesha startup to track down the issue. Looking at Ganeaha after the fact doesn't show any problems, so something went haywire during startup, and it may be caused by something leftover from the previous crash or something. Thanks Frank
Also, if we could add debug on the Ganesha restart: In NFS_CORE_PARAM block add: RPC_Debug_Flags = 0xffffffff; In the LOG { COMPONENTS { } } block add: ALL=FULL_DEBUG; Or change command line to -N NIV_FULL_DEBUG instead of -N NIV_EVENT That will spit out a lot of logging, but if the recreate is just restart Ganesha and then issue showmount -e that won't be awful. Make sure to rotate the log or something so the log file JUST contains the final instance of Ganesha.
Can we get the details that Frank asked in comment 11 and clear the NEEDINFO?
