Hello: I clobbered my client system accidently after discovering I could no longer boot due to a bad master boot record. When I got it back up, the NFS system began to act strangely.
I can read/write the mounted file systems on the server (a 'sarge' system), but cannot run mutt, openoffice or iceweasel as they try to set up a lock on the server. They hang until I kill them. The only message that results is: lockd: couldn't create RPC handle for 192.168.1.2 The server is 192.168.1.2 and has not changed its OS or NFS configuration for months. The client (192.168.1.3) is from the testing distribution and has NFS configured (and successfully mounts the remote file systems). The client kernel is 2.6.20.2; the server is a stock kernel: 2.4.27-2-386. For 'iceweasel' (firefox), the file that the system is trying to lock is: ~/.mozilla/firefox/h7y7nif1.default/.parentlock For 'mutt', it is '/var/mail/provinsd' (/var/mail is mounted from the server). Any ideas for a solution? Regards from Calgary, Dean -- Dean Provins, P.
