I've got a handful (about 20) client machines that mount a series of
directories off of a server. In this case, the clients are RHEL4
systems, and the server is a Mac OS Server. I use the automounter to
automatically manage the mounts. The user merely cd's to the correct
directory, and it automagically mounts itself.
99% of the time, this works flawlessly. There are times; however,
that the mount process hangs. After upgrading the client RHEL systems
to the latest kernel, its happened twice. In both cases, I can mount
some NFS directories, while others hang. Even if I try to mount them
manually, outside the context of the automounter, nothing happens.
Meanwhile, other directories on the same client work fine.
In the past, the only way I can find to "fix" the problem is to
reboot the client. This is obviously not ideal.
Here's a sample mount showing my config:
10.1.100.6:/Volumes/NetMacRAID/Shared/home on /mac/home type nfs
(rw,addr=10.1.100.6)
I suspect that I don't have NFS configured/tuned very well. Does
anyone have any suggestions here? Any idea why some exports
mysteriously die?
Thanks for any help,
Norman
