Hi all!
How can I debug fcntl() file locks on a NFSv3-client?
The server side is a NetApp-Box (no details at hand but I can ask).
The client side are stock-RHEL5.3/CentOS-5.3 kernels - 2.6.18-92.el5.
The file system in question is mounted on 2 clients. flock() on a file
succeeds but fcntl() fails with EAGAIN. From what I found in the
Internet and manual pages, this means that someone else already locked
that file (- the file is successfully open()ed read/write so it can't be
"your are not allowed to write-lock the file").
But how do I find out on which host and which process?
strace shows:
---- snip ----
open("/... secret ...", O_RDWR) = 3
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0x7fff7925b400) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=935, ...}) = 0
fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
flock(3, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) = 0
fcntl(3, F_SETLK, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
---- snip ----
[ This is a perl script using CPAN modules at the top. ]
/proc/mounts shows
---- snip ----
rw,nodiratime,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,addr=<ip-address>
---- snip ----
as options for the filesystem.
Thanks in advance,
Bernd
