cifsclient having NFS and RPC problems

[Morten Kristiansen]

Hi,
We have a server hp-ux B.11.11 U which we have cifsclient:
version: FILESET HP CIFS CLIENT: Version: A.01.09
Compiled on HP-UX B.11.00, s800/R390, 03/06/24 12:01:20
cifsclientd: ver_id=3050182349


I have cifsmounted three shares from a windows 2003 server as root and using cifslogin to let appropriate users having access to the cifsmount.

After a while I loose the connection and have to use cifslogin to get access again. And sometimes the mount goes down for a little while and then it comes up again wihtout doing anything.

Errors in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log is:

Jan 11 13:48:52 hpdb5 vmunix: NFS fsstat failed for server fixoosr08.findexa.net: RPC: Unable to receive
Jan 11 14:28:48 hpdb5 vmunix: NFS getattr failed for server fixoosr08.findexa.net: RPC: Timed out


Two config settings:
connectTimeout = 5000 // timeout for netbios connection in ms
requestTimeout = 60000 // timeout for SMB reply in ms


Does anybody know why this is happening and what to do to resolve this problem?

You may find more information related to this in the win2003 server's eventlog.

Sorry in advance for this answer: you are running on very old code. You need to upgrade to A.02.01. I do not recognize the log entries - so the fastest way to make some progress is to get on the latest release and verify that it still happens.
