I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason for this. Clients that have seen the problem include a machine running RH 7.3 accessing a mount in fstab, to a Fedora Core 1 client automounting a share. Many times just running 'ls' on the share a few times will suddenly make it accessable. Other times a umount/mount is required.
The server machines are running Fedora Core 2 and kernel 2.6.9-1.3_FC2smp. The exported filesystems are ReiserFS on LVM2 volumes. Qlogic QLA2300 fibre adaptors connect the heads to the Nexsan Atabeast.
After reading some traffic on the Linux kernel list, I added the "no_subtree_check" option to the fstab entries on the servers and re-exported. It doesn't seem to have made much of a difference.
I'm not seeing error messages in /var/log/messages on either the clients nor the hosts.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas? Otherwise the performance on the new systems beats the hell out of our old EMC Celerra; the users are rather happy with it save for this little problem.
