Dear all,
After many experiments I am back at 11.2 (linux kernel 2.6.34.6). Why? Well NFS client is not working out of the box or with updates. NFS Server is working fine, but whatever try under 11.3, it's not working. After some time, I thought it would be the kernel causing the problem, but reverting back to earlier 2.6.34 versions or even going as high as 2.6.35.4 did not do anything. Guess the NFS client utilities are broken.
Any suggestions?
Ummm. It's broken how? Doesn't start up? Doesn't connect? Client starts up and says "I'm broken"? Do logs say anything?
Well, suse 11.2 using 2.6.34.6 is working fine. Suse 11.3 using standard 2.6.34-12 or native 2.6.34.6 or 2.6.35.4 are not working. So, it's not the kernel who is at fault. Identical configuration, but 11.3 does not work. NFS Server is working as before.
The logs: say only that the can't find the designated directory: Sep 6 01:42:48 pws1 sm-notify[3441]: Already notifying clients; Exiting! Sep 6 01:42:48 pws1 rpc.idmapd[2126]: nss_getpwnam: name 'maint' not found in domain 'fransdb.local'
Mount command: mount -t nfs4 <IP>:/home/maint /media/pubserv1 ------ failed, same on 11.2 with 2.6.34.6 is ok.
I can't see how this command ever worked using NFSv4. NFSv4 exports a single pseudo filesystem as the share root - the real path on the server is never needed by the client. The share marked as "fsid=0" in /etc/exports appears as root (<IP>:/). It's not perfect, but to learn the theory read something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto I'm not sure what you had working before with 11.2, but it doesn't look like it was NFSv4. Maybe 11.2 was falling back to NFSv3 silently or something; but I don't ever remember it doing that on my systems.
NFS Server is on 11.3 machine pubserv1, client is on machine2 using 11.3 = fail. NFS Server is on 11.3 machine pubserv1, client is on machine2 using 11.2 = ok.
The only thing I did not try sofar is to use the nfs utils prior to version 1.2.1.
An please, it's not a good feature to be sarcastic.
It's not polite of them, but you did not start this conversation with the right tone. Your first email didn't properly ask a question; to me it just seems to proclaim that "NFS is BROKEN on 11.3". Many people on this list have NFS working; of course they are going to treat such claims as ridiculous.
