Re: [opensuse] Problem with NFS mounts

Tim Donnelly schrieb:

I tried Philippe's soulution and got no joy.

To test the theory that it was a name resolution problem, I inserted a third mount into the fstab file. I placed this before /proddb and /prodobj. The first filesystem failed to mount, but the second and third worked as one would expect. I also changed the fstab entry for the first filesystem to point to the IP address instead of the hostname. No luck.

In looking at the nfs start up script in /etc/init.d I noticed a comment about it sometimes being helpful to mount NFS devices in the backgroup with an & and a sleep time. I modified the startup script as mentioned, but still the first mount is "ignored" while subsequent mounts work fine.

Google is not helping, does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks

I'm running a SUSE 10.2 server and had running SLES 10 server before.
When I've exported a file system like this:

/share *(rw,root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

there was no problem to mount it from any client, but
when exported it specific to one IP, IP range or subnet e.g. like this:

/share 192.168.1.101(rw,root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

I couldn't mount it from 192.168.1.101.
After that I've found a message in /var/log/warn of the server about
something like:

'Attempt to mount from 192.168.1.101. Could not resolve the name via
reverse-dns. Attempt dismissed'

So I setup first the /etc/hosts with all my clients in, which helped!
Now I'm running a local dns for all my clients on the server.

This might help you or it might not. However check the logs on the SLES9
server.

Thx
Jan
