syslog 2

I have a 10.20 HP-UX
When looking in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log, the following message appears:

Jan 11 10:18:44 sirius vmunix: NFS server canopus.davie.ca not responding still trying

What is it

Thanks in advance,
frank

Re: syslog 2

the server has an NFS mount, probably /etc/fstab trying to mount from that server but it can't reach it, or NFS on the server is not running

Re: syslog 2

Have you left pfs_mount running?

What about some unknown nfs attempts out to other boxes?

I would say to look at the second option first.

Re: syslog 2

Hi,

It's looking for an NFS server for a possible connection. You can stop NFS services if u r not using it.

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop

See this for info:
