Cannot mount ISO image over NFS
I have a ISO Image on NFS Server, and when I try to mount it, It fails.
When I copy the iso image to a local directory and try to mount it - it's working fine.
I have the same issue on all of my Red Hat 5.1 servers.
Here is some info about my server:
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Carthage)
kernel: Linux maoflin2 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Here is the error i'm getting:
[root@maoflin2 ~]# mount -v -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /sysImg/maoflin2/25-08-2009/maoflin2-25-08-209-1.iso /mnt/tmp/
mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop0
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument
mount: failed setting up loop device
I have also uploaded the strace output of the command.

Re: Cannot mount ISO image over NFS
Try opening an nfs mount.
Then.
cd
mount -o loop
That should work.
You are trying to do a two step process in one step.

Re: Cannot mount ISO image over NFS
it seems like there are some bugs which prevent from mounting loopback fs from non-local fs (yes, it's relative old, but anyway...):

Re: Cannot mount ISO image over NFS
I can't just upgrade a running production server...
the loop.ko is the same version on the working and the non working machine :/

Re: Cannot mount ISO image over NFS
hmm.. I was under opinion that other nfs clients are not rhel5.1...
so you have few other rhel5.1 clients which are OK?
what about nfs-utils versions? do you have lockd and statd running on all clients?

Re: Cannot mount ISO image over NFS
The only diffrance is all of the not working machines are InfiniBand.
And when I compare the nfs rpm's those servers have the following rpm:
rnfs-utils-1.1.5-2.OFED
Here is the description of that rpm:
This package provides only the mount binary necessary to mount NFS-RDMA
connections. All other NFS utilities are provided by the nfs-utils RPM
(which is required by this package). The installed binary will be named
mount.rnfs
But I'm still not sure that this is the thing that makes me all the trouble :/
What do you think ?

Re: Cannot mount ISO image over NFS
I guess it should be some difference either in software versions/configurations or mount options.
