NFS Help needed!

George_Dodds — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 06:30:57 GMT

my server lost it's nfs mounts to a nas box when the lan connection dropped.

In the end i had to hard boot the server as the automount hung.

So i decided to disable the automounter for the moment as we have a lot of lan work going on.

As soon as i disabled it and tried to manually mount the fs i got this error, i've tried renabling the automounter with no success.

Any ideas?

mountall: diagnostics from mount
nfs mount: get_fh: 172.17.121.101:: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out
nfs mount: get_fh: 172.17.121.101:: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /pcsuat after 5 seconds
nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /pcsuat

Shalom,

Two obvious choices,

1) Manually start the automounter.
2) Look at the automount configuration and try to manually duplicate that. Start with auto_master an see where it leads.

Before you start nfs.core and nfs.client must be running.

Got it sorted

The nic on the nas box was faulty, showing up n connected when it was down.
So i switched the mount over to use the secondary nas ip address and mount came up.
