Can anyone help me with an nfs or smbfs network filesystem error? I can mount a FreeBSD nfs export using a Gentoo client, and read from it, but not write to it (connection hangs) even though other FreeBSD clients can. Also, I can mount the Gentoo nfs export using FreeBSD, but also cannot write to it.
when I try to write to the FreeBSD machine Gentoo reports the error: nfs server OrganGrinder is not responding, still trying it never succeeds. I think this might be related to file locking, because the FreeBSD server has reported a file locking error, but not consistently. Also, I can sometimes successfully transfer small files (<2k) but nothing bigger. Everything just hangs. Also, when trying to mount a windowsXP from Gentoo share, I get the error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.127/F, or too many mounted file systems I get the same set of errors on the vanilla 2.4.24 kernel as with the 2.6.4-gentoo-r1 kernel except on the newer kernel I also get a warning about my mount being older than the kernel Any Ideas here would be great, I need to integrate Gentoo into the network somehow my mount commands are: for nfs: mount -t ntfs OrganGrinder:/usr /net for smbfs: mount -t smbfs //Phage/F /mnt/smb both machine names are in /etc/exports I'm pretty new to linux, and gentoo especially so I could have easily screwed something up in the kernel config, though I'm pretty sure that nfs is starred. On the 2.6.4 kernel I have selected to include NFSv3 but not NFSv4 Any help would be wonderful Erick Smith deusindustries _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
