Package: nfs-common Version: 1:1.2.2-4 Severity: normal How are your network interfaces configured? ifupdown, Network Manager, wicd?
Ben. Dear Ben, There is actually some progresses... Would you mind if we start to talk about NFS-common and nfs-kernel-server more generally? Both are linked together somehow. I would like more to understand about the issue. OK. If you take the time, maybe we could understand more about the reported problem. You know I am not an expert user with Linux, so I can type all commands you would like to get more input/info. OK, in the server I had I have used squeeze which was as testing. The issue was that the server NFS had to be restarted often /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel... restart OK then the stations could mount it : mount /mnt/pictures went ok if I restart it. You might have said taht my server was not well installed. I might disagree since I did all good stuffs from server install to install the NFS. Or maybe the order? So it was not possible to mount at boot of the station. - well. recently I had a hdd crash, that died, and I had to fight, and had got to reinstall the server. Fine. ;) Interesting + the debian testing went to stable. OK, even more interesting So I installed the NFS server with debian stable (squeeze). It should actually give the same errors right? Install from server. no packages. then apt-get install nfs-kernel... portmap nfs-common and then the rest and ... so now the stations can mount hte NFS server at BOOT. So why? my idea could be : 1) you changed something or 2) the first insatllation : apt-get install nfs-kernel-server portmap nfs-common is good or 3) my exports is not ideal currently I use: $ cat /etc/exports: #/home 192.168.1.*(rw,sync) #/pictures 192.168.1.*(rw,sync) /home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,root_squash,no_subtree_check) # /mnt/pictures 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,root_squash) /mnt/pictures 192.168.1.*(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check) ##/mnt/pictures/uploads *(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check) #/mnt/applications 192.168.1.0/24(ro,root_squash) /mnt/applications 192.168.1.*(ro,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check) #***************************************** well, another important problem If I have : /mnt/pictures 192.168.1.*(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check) /mnt/applications 192.168.1.*(ro,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check) the stationc cannot mount /mnt/applications the stations says it is mounted fine, both pictures and applications but the content of /mnt/applications is similar to /mnt/torrents on the station it seems that the stations mounting from /etc/fstab is always teh same as /mnt/pictures. That's a problem that I never encountered anytime, althoguh after about 10 years of use of linux. I wonder. I do not understand. Finally, concerning speed of network: 192.168.1.* <------------ works well in this newer NFS SERVER, but however I have doubts that it could be bit slow * <---------- is extremely fast but could be dangerous 192.168.1.0/24 <----------- is it still possible in this NFS of the current debian stable? Could it be possible that it has some effects of the speed on data transferts between server and statiosn? It was just an impression when using the NFS station... Well, I am glad that the station can mount the NFS server at boot, but there are few things that we could bit discuss if you have some time... Thank you of coding NFS !
