RE: issues with email migration
This morning, I tried adding this to rc.conf and moved my link for /www from local to the nfs . rpc_lockd_enable=YES rpc_statd_enable=YES and I experienced the same issues I had before. It would seem that postfix and other assorted mail programs have no issue with accessing /mail on an nfs share but everything residing in /www don't seem to like it at all. I have no choice but to leave this as it is and set up a similar arrangement on my new server.

RE: issues with email migration
Yes sir, I added them to the rc.conf, changed the links to point where I wanted them and rebooted, same issues. I cant waste anymore time with what I wanted to do. I will leave /mail on the nfs share and just build a new server. I have 2 days and hopefully I will keep my job. Wish me luck... -Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Tim Judd Sent: Monday, November 02, 2009 10:10 AM To: David Patton Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: issues with email migration On 11/2/09, David Patton da...@farmington.k12.mo.us wrote: This morning, I tried adding this to rc.conf and moved my link for /www from local to the nfs . rpc_lockd_enable=YES rpc_statd_enable=YES Adding them alone just tells the system at startup to start these. and I experienced the same issues I had before.

issues with email migration
This morning I moved the contents from the server over to an NFS share. This is a freebsd 6.2 server running postfix, courier-imap and squirrelmail. I used rsync to move the data for /www and /mail over to the nfs share. After I made the changed to fstab and rebooted, every thing came up and email seemed to be faster but in fact it wasn't. Once I realized that there was an issue, I changed the link back for the /www directory to the original location and left the link for /mail pointing to the nfs share. I found from a search to try newaliaies and the restart postfix but that didn't work.
