Following my own post: I installed kernel 2.2.18 and nfs works with it. No error messages from rcnfs script, files of 40+ Megs size just fly to Solaris box. Given this, I have a great suspicion that 2.4 kernel is not ready for use. -Kastus On Mon, Apr 02, 2001 at 03:20:33PM -0700, Konstantin (Kastus) Shchuka wrote:
Hi,
<rant mode>
I lost whole Friday trying to upgrade my 7.0 box at work to 7.1. Finally I gave up understanding that the only way to upgrade is do a clean install.
I would appreciate if that were written in BIG letters somewhere on the box.
I did a clean install, chose kernel 2.4 as a default, system booted.
Initially I didn't pay attention to the message:
lockdsvc: Invalid argument exit status of /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd: 1
from rcnfs script.
Later I discovered that I cannot copy a big (19Megs) file to a nfs-mounted disk from Solaris. There were no problems earlier when I was using SuSE 7.0.
I can copy a small file, I can create directories, but as soon as I try to copy something big, I receive input/output error.
I installed then 2.4.2 kernel form SuSE, and nfsutils-0.2.1-20. Nothing changed, same hanging and error while copying big file over nfs.
Is this a feature of 7.1 with 2.4.2 kernel that NFS should not work?
