Hi All,
I am running into two issues with nfs-kernel-server in Ubuntu Hardy
8.0.4 x64. I am running Ubuntu on a quad-core 3.0 GHz server with 8 GB
RAM and 12 x SATA 500GB drives.
1) I create a 100 GB LVM2 volume and format it with XFS. I create a
directory and export it as an NFS share assigned to a VMware ESX 3.5
server. I connect successfully from VMware ESX to the NFS share and
create an NFS datastore. VMware reports the LVM2 volume capacity as the
capacity of the NFS datastore (100 GB). I then resize the LVM2 volume
to 200 GB. However, in VMware, it still reports the NFS datastore as
100 GB. If I delete the NFS datastore in VMware, and then reestablish
it, it still reports the NFS datastore as 100 GB. I have even tried
rebooting my Ubuntu server but VMware still reports it as 100 GB. Any
ideas?
2) If I continue the above example, I next try to delete my 100 GB LVM2
volume. I first delete the NFS directory and remove the NFS export.
However, I can never delete the LVM2 volume afterwards. It seems like
NFS maintains a lock of some sort on the volume. The only workaround is
to reboot the Ubuntu Server altogether, and then I can delete the LVM2
volume.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Sincerely,
-Thomas
