Hi guys,

We are having a problem with locks in NFSv3 with Fedora11. I've been searching this problem in the list for a while but I haven't found it.

The problem is in Fedora11, kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11 and nfs-utils-1.1.5-6.fc11

When I try to make two locks with two different process I get the message "No locks available". rpc.statd is running on client and server, also lockd. If I try with just one process I obtain the same result.

I tried to debug with wireshark and I can see client is not trying to make a lock. I also tried to enable NLM debug and I get next messages:

Syslog:

Statd can't create the monitor record for this remote peer for some reason. Check that /var/lib/nfs/statd and /var/lib/nfs/statd/sm exist, and are permitted so that rpc.statd can create files in it. Check which uid and gid statd is running under: I think F11 uses 29 for both.


Thanks Chuck. That made the trick. Directory /var/lib/nfs/statd/ was empty in client and server. Adding these directories locking works. But it's just a workaround as I have 30 more clients having the same problem. I'm going to try to find out why this is happening. Maybe it is a bug in fedora installation? When are supposed the files under "/var/lib/nfs/statd/" to be created?

statd is running under the right uid and gid and /var/lib/nfs/statd is owned by rpcuser as it should be.

It's like if rpc.statd was not running, but it is. Should ../statd/sm/ directory be already created when we try the lock?

Is this a known problem?

Thanks,
