Hanging Request on NFS-Drive

[marshal_6]

HI there,

Before i can bdf my /out nfs mount, now i cannot, i checked fstab it is defined there, its pingable, it is also in /etc/auto.direct.

What could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

The fact that it's pingable (by which I assume you mean the remote server) doesn't mean the disc containing /out is up and running.

What do you see if you log into the remote system? Is the disc containing /out working?

Hi,

May be the NFS service on the NFS server is not running.
Check also on the NFS server if the directory you have mounted is exported.

Enjoy :)

Wondering here what the result of an exportfs -av command on the server is.

This problem could have been triggered by a temporary loss of connectivity or other error on the server.

There might be clues in the servers syslog.log file.

What kind of server/os is the server?

Marshal,
launch this to view if the remote server is exporting the file system:

showmount -e

then view if your server has a current mount of the remote filesystem

showmount -a
( you should find and entry like ":/out"

Launch on you server

nfsstat -c

and check if there are a lot of "badcalls" (client section) and "retrans" (rpc section)

Check if the automounter is still up and running.
Try to unmount forcibly the filesystem and remount it
Check if you have enough "biod" daemon running on your server, and enough "nfsd" daemon in your remote server.

Let us know.

Rgds,
Alex
