11.23 NFS and AutoFS

[Pete Randall]

Sorry but I don't see where that applies to my situation.

Shalom,

11.11 works with this Novell server.
11.23 does not.

I would check the patch database against the error message and the keyword Novell. Read the notes see if there is something that applies.

If in a hurry, put together a large nfs patch set, install it and hope the shotgun gets the problem.

I used to work with victor and if you published the configuration files he or I might be able to spot something.

No patch hits with any keywords other than just "nfs", so I applied all the latest nfs and autofs patches. Still no joy.

Have you bypassed the automounter and tried hard mounting common? Do it somewhere else to check, /var/tmp/common/.

[Dave Olker]

Hi Pete,

Let's take a look at the working and failing system to see what they're doing.

On the 11.11 NFS client, issue the commands:

# nfsstat -m
# rpcinfo -p

I'd also like to see the AutoFS maps used to mount the filesystem from the Novell server.

Then on the 11.23 NFS client, issue the command:

# nfsstat -m

and collect the AutoFS maps used by the 11.23 system to mount the Novell filesystem (unless they are the same maps being shared via NIS or something).

Regards,

Dave

On the 11.23 client:

# nfsstat -m
# cat /etc/auto_master
/nfs -hosts -nosuid,hard,intr

Both AutoFS maps used to have "bg" specified until an hour or so ago when I read that it wasn't allowed for an automounted directory. Taking it out didn't help.

I guess I should have made it clear that before issuing the "nfsstat -m" commands you'd need to actually mount the filesystems so they'd show up in the output. :)

So, on both systems please force AutoFS to mount the filesystem first then issue the nfsstat -m command on both systems.

Also, can you tell me if the 11.11 system is using the original automounter, the original (ONC 1.2) AutoFS, or the Enhanced AutoFS?

Dave

[Pete Randall]

The 11.11 system is using the original automounter and I attempted to mount before issuing the nfsstat command.

On the working 11.11 system, try this:

# cd /nfs/farm/prod1/common
# nfsstat -m

Hopefully that will show the NFS mount.

Looking at the AutoFS log you provided:

AUTOFS_ACTION
Feb 16 12:32:50 t1 MOUNT REQUEST: Mon Feb 16 12:32:50 2009
Feb 16 12:32:50 t1 name=farm[/prod1/common] map=-hosts opts=nosuid,hard,intr,bg,vers=2 path=/n
fs/farm/prod1/common direct=1
Feb 16 12:32:50 t1 Port numbers are 666, 666
Feb 16 12:32:50 t1 Port match
Feb 16 12:32:50 t1 MOUNT REPLY : status=13, AUTOFS_DONE

The NFS server is denying the last mount request with "status=13". That too would explain why the overall NFS mount is failing.

As Dennis suggested earlier, try doing a manual NFS mount on the 11.23 system just to take AutoFS out of the picture for the moment:

11.23> mkdir /test1
11.23> mount farm:/prod1/common /test1

If that works, issue the "nfsstat -m" command so I can see what got mounted.

Dennis & Dave,

11.11# cd /nfs/farm/prod1/common
11.11# nfsstat -m
11.11#

11.23# mkdir /test1
11.23# mount farm:/prod1/common /test1
No such file or directory


The only time I can get anything out of the nfsstat command is on the 11.23 system when I cause one of the 11.11 systems to get automounted.
