[Bug 431212] New: quota-nfs not functional with nfs-server
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431212 Summary: quota-nfs not functional with nfs-server Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: grok@tnt.pl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Package quota-nfs currently requires nfs-server (userspace). This combination does not work well: 137.205.124.104:/storage/astro2 1.3T -417G 1.7T - /storage/astro2 (this is *not* a stale mount) # service quotad start Starting rquota daemon rpc.rquotad: Warning: Cannot open export table /var/lib/nfs/etab: No such file or directory (the files in warning above are only created by nfs-kernel-server) However, quota-nfs (installed with --nodeps) together with nfs-kernel-server works *perfectly*. Proposed fix: Change requirement of "nfs-server" to "nfs-kernel-server" in quota-nfs package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Now to the report above: The line: 137.205.124.104:/storage/astro2 1.3T -417G 1.7T - /storage/astro2 has nothing to do with quotas, does it? It's an output from df which is completely unrelated to quotas. The warning "Cannot open export table" should be harmless in this case - it just means that NFS pseudoroot (a path from which all path names should be resolved in NFSv4) is going to be set to / which is probably fine in case of userspace NFS. I'm a bit puzzled by "Cannot resolve mountpoint path /storage/astro2: Protocol not supported". It's also probably not connected to quotas since the "Protocol not supported" error is from realpath(3) call so probably libc internally tried to do stat or something like that and NFS was not able to cope with it. To better diagnose this, strace output of quota run would be useful. So to summarize, I don't think this has anything to do with quotas directly but rather NFS itself :). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The problem seems to be with the userspace nfs daemon. Perhaps there are limitations of the userspace server that I'm not aware of. Since I'm experiencing issues with it, and none with nfs-kernel-server, is it still possible to change the default requirement of quota-nfs to require the latter? This is why I filed is a quota package issue. The change is purely cosmetic -- I can simply --nodeps it and it works just fine. Which server is actually preferred one? User- or kernel-space? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

quota requirement was changed to "nfs-kernel-server"
*Where* is this fixed quota-nfs to be found? has it actually been committed?
