I've got a strange problem here... We recently upgraded our file server from RedHat 9 to Fedora Core 2 and as a result the NFS mounts which were previously working just fine, started failing randomly. I submitted bug #130165 to report it, but I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing similar problems. Basically, after the mount succeeds you can use the mount from the client for a little while but eventually every access to the mount will return "no such file or directory" including accesses on the mount point itself. There are almost never any entries in any logs except for an occasional "nfs_statfs: error = 2" on the client. That's not very helpful as error 2 is defined as NFSERR_NOENT (file not found). The really strange part is that just having a shell open on the file server in the affected directory solves the problem. This happens with every combination of mount and export options I've tried, over TCP and UDP. I'd love to use NFSv4 except the every file is owned by root:bin which makes it unusable (there's a bug about this as well). -- Shahms E.
