Yeah, that was running before I even tried to do anything, out of the box. >>There is a linux patch at <ftp://ftp.moving-picture.com/private/james/> >That patch is for an old version of kernel and it no doubt won't apply to >recent >versions of the kernel. ...the patch (in one form or another) might already be >integrated into >the main tree, >--Ray I hope it's not in the kernel, it sort of "breaks" NFS to match the SGI bug. >From: Warren Togami <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Try the following: >service portmap restart >service nfs restart >service nfslock restart > >Then try a local NFS mount: >mkdir /tmp/somewhere >mount -t nfs localhost:/abyss /tmp/somewhere It fails, error message is: mount: localhost:\abyss failed, reason given by server: Permission denied. I have set the permissions of /abyss so everyone has rwx. There has to be a problem with /etc/exports? result of [tail -f /var/log/messages] is: ultraviolet rpc.mountd: refused mount request from localhost for /abyss (/): no export entry so I tried [mount -t nfs 192.168.1.141:/abyss /tmp/somewhere] and it worked! I guess localhost is mapping to 127.0.0.1 which is excluded by my /etc/exports file. Now it works on the SG, but only if I use the command line. I had been using their GUI filesystem manager, but it still can't find the /abyss directory. But I can cope. This actually was probably my real problem. Thanks everyone. It even works on the SGIs with the old OS, so I guess the patch did get rolled into the kernel. Or else maybe the bug is intermittent/slow to show a problem? Anyhow, now everything seems to be working. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Delighted Dave
