NFS error on client side after NFS server reboot

Hi,

ERROR: UNREADABLE at the client side when doing a LS
I had almost 5 NFS mounted directoreies on one HPUX server and after the NFS server reboot One NFS directory i not able to read. All other mounts are working properly.
The problem mount can be mount or unmount without any errors. When I am doing an exportfs -u for this pwrticular directory I am not able to mount it on the client side. But after exportign it I acn mount it and CD into that dirctory. But when i am trying to do a LS command I am getting the UNREADABLE error.
Again All other directories are accessible..
Please let me know the solution at the earliest

Thanks

Re: NFS error on client side after NFS server reboot

I have seen this before and it was basically a permission problem. The problem I had was that the nfs mount did not allow root to view the information and I was trying to view the information as a root. You should go over the permission of the mount and the nfs privileges.

Hi,

try to restart the NFS client on the clients.

on the client side -
unmount the NFS file system
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
mount the NFS file system


Regards,
Charlie

Re: NFS error on client side after NFS server reboot

does the NFS mount point counts(number of nfs file systems) matching with bdf as well as mount outputs

Re: NFS error on client side after NFS server reboot

Thnk you all for the reply..
here is some more points..
1)I dont see a permission problem, As root and ither users are also not able to see read the filesystem.
2) Bdf of bot the server and client seems to be the same count.
3) I did tried with stoping and starting the NFS services on clients as well as server
