| |
I'm attempting to use the "stable" kernel-2.2.12 with knfsd-4.7.1 and knfsd-lock-4.7.1mdk and its a mess. Most of the problems seem assosciated with nfs. So far I've seen the following:
1. The lockd process won't start - when I run rpc.lockd I get the message "lockdsvc: invalid argument" 2. Directories mounted with the automounter will just "go away", usually in such a way that tasks referencing them hang. 3. In some cases systems hung altogether, no cursor movement, no rlogin, no nfs - the only sign of life is that it responds to a ping. In one case the system came back after 20 minutes with no known action on my part. 4. Under RedHat 5.2, I could refer to filesystems mounted under root directly (/net/system/home). Under the new stuff this doesn't work. If this is a design feature, its one that causes real pain.
I would be glad to provide any debugging information, if you tell me what you need. NFS is a crucial part of my environment and is now making my Linux systems less stable than my NT stuff!
