Hello all,
I seem to have a problem writing large files from a Solaris NFS client
to a Linux (2.0.36) NFS server.
E. g. I have a large file to unzip -- after writing some data gunzip
terminates with the message "Stale NFS file handle" like this:
$ ls -l
total 14570
-rw-r--r-- 1 ni ni 7428958 Mar 4 12:35 foo.gz
$ /bin/pwd
/.automount/dali/root/export/tellique/home/ni/tmp
$ gunzip -c foo.gz > fooo
gunzip: stdout: Stale NFS file handle
$ ls -l
total 51696
-rw-r--r-- 1 ni ni 7428958 Mar 4 12:35 foo.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ni ni 11509760 Mar 5 12:13 fooo
This is quite reproducible. The same happens with cp and with other
applications writing large files.
The NFS client is a Sun UltraSPARC running Solaris 2.6; the server is a
400 MHz Intel P2 machine with Redhat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36, and large, fast
SCSI disks. The directory is mounted via the automounter; the amd.conf
on the sun is
/defaults fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root/${rfs};\
opts=nodev,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,intr
* rhost:=${key};type:=host;rfs:=/
(without the backslash and line break), amd is called as
/usr/sbin/amd -a /.automount -l syslog -c 1000 /net /etc/amd.conf
The /etc/eports on the Linux server is
/ *.tellique.de(no_root_squash)
I am at a loss at this point; I have read the NFS-HowTo, searched the
web and the archives of this list, and found nothing related.
Can someone help? Have I overlooked some important source of
information? I'd gladly RTFM or a FAQ if I knew which.
Thanks in advance for any help!
