Hi,
On a Linux 2.6 kernel (I'm using RHEL 5), how is the pcnfsd daemon
started?
I have an SFS fiespace mounted via NFS on a zLinux guest and cannot
write to it. IBM has looked at traces and says that no PCNFS operation
is being sent to the VM server (VMNFS on another LPAR). The problem is

You don't run pcnfsd on the client; pcnfsd has to run on the server
side. It's a hack to allow non-Unix systems to authenticate a connection
from a non-Unix system and get a valid numeric UID so that NFS security
works
We looked at that a few years back and found the entry point ($$) and annual
maint to be less.
At the time the feature sets were also inferior to that of which Novel offered.
Are you hearing a particular product is only certified on that distro?

Wasn't sure how to best report an issue with SWAPGEN -- but here it is:
Due to a Linux guest being autologged with a parm passed, the PROFILE EXEC
which calls SWAPGEN twice to create 2 VDSKs had something in the stack.
This caused the first invocation of SWAPGEN to fail (I believe because

We run RHEL on z because that is what we run on Intel. It was easier for our
Linux admins to know just one distro, and we can reuse a lot of the same
processes and Red Hat features across the platforms. Sometimes it bites us
when certain product vendors only support Suse on z, or when there is

OK. New version in testing now. Will post here when we're satisfied with
it.

The IBM MOUNTPW webpage says MOUNTPW isn't needed if PCNFSD is available
on the NFS server. Rpcinfo on the VM server shows pcnfsd running.

Hi, Scott.
Thanks for this report of a bug in SWAPGEN. I guess I'm the
unofficial SWAPGEN maintainer, so I'll incorporate your
suggested fix into the current SWAPGEN release, and do some
testing.
I'll send a note to list when th new version is available,
as well as sending it to a couple of other

other methods. Recovering from a server failure was importa

You don't need mountpw... if you have a pcnfs client. You do if you
don't have one. That's the way it works on our 5.2 and 5.3 system here.

For the participants of IBMVM, IBMMAIN, LINUX390 who
are interested in technical education on System z.
If you are looking for a week of technical education,
the next IBM tech conference for System z is coming up.
Enrollment is open to Customers, ISVs, Partners, and IBMers, too.
IBM System z Tec
Hillgang, the DC-based z/VM and Linux user group, is holding its next
meeting on April 24 at the CA offices in Herndon Va. We especially thrilled
to announce that one of our featured speakers is Mike Cowlishaw, IBM Fellow,
Rexx/NetRexx author, and decimal arithmetic architect.
For the complete age
