Ignite error: Could not NFS mount

dictum9 — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 17:34:30 GMT

I went over my configuration files time and again, and all looks good, the right directories are getting exported, etc. Both client and server are 11.23. What could be the problem?

check syslog and dmesg and it seems you have permission problem /var/opt/ignite directory.

It doesn't have write enabled permissions.

Hi,

You should try to restart your nfs daemon?

Program completed successfully.

What does this mean, busy??

Both done...

What does it mean?

Also I restarted the NFS daemons many times, even rebooted the machine.

Can you try on client :
mount server:/var/opt/ignite/clients /tmp/test

and see whats happening ?

It mounts just fine.

I ran across this issue recently here.

It mounted successfully at another mountpoint, but failed at /var/opt/ignite/recovery/client_mnt. The reason it failed was a left over NFS mount from an earlier run of make_net_recovery to another server. When make_net_recovery run, it makes 2 NFS mounts, but one of them is left around after execution completes. (Ignite/UX C.6.8.152)

Check all of your existing mounts through 'showmount -a', 'mount', /etc/mnttab, etc. on the client system.

And that hit the nail squarely on the head.
I forgot I was using another server before I switched over to this one. There was nothing wrong with the Ignite server configuration, but the client had the previously mounted filesystem, and once I unmounted it, all was fine.
