Generally, sendmail uses flock() on the aliases file and related databases to ensure consistency. As far as I know, it's unrelated to redirection. > I think a solution could be to make virecover called later on. Why are > rpc.lockd and rpc.statd not started directly after rpcbind? No idea. Moving virecover later is a possibility; probably the missing piece is that sendmail should depend on rpc.lockd, ordering-wise. Or perhaps, it should depend on late-stage file system bits, and the file system bits don't probably depend with the rpc bits. > Here is some more output. > > Recovering vi editor sessions:Jun 8 21:03:39 photon sendmail[292]: h5913dfn000292: > SYSERR(root): > cannot flock(./dfh5913dfn000292, fd=3, type=2, omode=40002, euid=25): Operation not > supported > collect: Cannot write ./dfh5913dfn000292 (bfcommit, uid=25, gid=25): Operation not > supported > cannot flock(./tfh5913dfn000292, fd=5, type=6, omode=40001, euid=25): Operation not > supported > cannot flock(./tfh5913dfn000292, fd=5, type=6, omode=40001, euid=25): Operation not > supported > Jun 8 21:03:39 photon sendmail[292]: h5913dfn000292: SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot > write > ./dfh5913dfn000292 (bfcommit, uid=25, gid=25): Operation not supported > Jun 8 21:03:39 photon sendmail[292]: h5913dfn000292: SYSERR(root): cannot > flock(./tfh5913dfn000292, fd=5, type=6, omode=40001, euid=25): Operation not > supported > Jun 8 21:03:39 photon sendmail[292]: h5913dfn000292: queueup: cannot lock > ./tfh5913dfn000292: > Operation not supported > > Here is what Control-T does > load: 0.20 cmd: sendmail 292 [pause] 0.02u 0.04s 0% 2016k pause, eh? That doesn't sound like it's related the the NFS locking. Note that the errors you get for sendmail due to lack of locking result in a fairly clean exit, not a hang. Hangs are generally associated with DNS.
