NFS error

[Brian Abdallah_2]

Has anyone ever seen the error message:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol:__libnsl_is_
variable_set (code) from /sbin/fs/nfs/mount
mount: mount : terminated abnormally
I receive this error when I nfs mount to another machine.
Please advise.
Thanks!

(1) make sure you are up-to-date with OS patches
(2) What OS release are you running?
(3) what are you mounting to?
(4) What was the mount command you used?

Hi,

I have the latest patches. HP-UX 11.0
command is
mount -F nfs cu2:/home/brewster/archvi1 /brewsterarchive

Hi Brian:

Sounds like your mount command is referencing the worng lib file. I would check patches for your OS version.

I have often seen dld.sl errors associated with maxed-out inode and/or file handles.

Check the maxfiles, nfiles and ninode settings in your kernels tunable parameters.

Are other NFS mounts working on this system? How many?

Does this system have the standard recommended patches installed?

Good luck, Brian...
