So I have a 9.0 box which has three drives. sda1 mounts on / sdb1 mounts on /www sdc1 mounts on /www/xxx/yyy/zzz I have folder /www exported under NFS and shared under Samba. This configuration has worked for the last two years and it has worked great. Enter my 9.1 workstation. Up until yesterday, my 9.1 box mounted 9.0:/www on /www without a problem since 9.1 first released. Starting today, I can no longer read any data from the sdc1 partition on folder /www/xxx/yyy/zzz. I can read everything else under /www, just not the contents of ~/zzz. This said, I can read and write to it using the Samba share from a MS box. I can log into the 9.0 box and read the contents correctly. I can umount sdc1 and mount it somewhere else, export that folder with NFS, and correctly import it into the 9.1 filesystem. I can even umount sdc1, write data into the ~/zzz folder and then read that data from the 9.1 box. I just can't read anything on the sdc1 partition if it is mounted on ~/zzz. I have checked the permissions all the way down to /dev/sd[abc]1 and everything is set. I just can't figure it out. I am using the 2.6.5-7.104-default kernel on an AMD XP 2000 with a custom ATI 9600 Pro module (downloaded from SuSE). I have yet to try downgrading kernels, but if I must, I must. But before I went through the trouble (since everything else is working so well) I thought I would ask the list for some fresh ideas. Has anyone heard of a problem like this and if so how was that problem solved? Thanks in advance. Ken
