One of the NFS mounted partitions is /home/users which is local to the NIS server. This partition contains everyone's home directory. Since upgrading the NIS server to 7.2, when I log into one of the other machines, I get this message:
bash: /home/users/kim/.bashrc: Stale NFS file handle bash: /home/users/kim/.bashrc: Stale NFS file handle The login directory is what I expect, but it doesn't appear to be reading ~/.bashrc, except when I log in to the NIS server machine. None of the environmental variables defined in ~/.bashrc work when logging in to an NIS client. All of the NFS mounted partitions are showing up on all machines. How do I get ~/.bashrc active on all machines? Thanks, ----------------->>>> I have been patiently waiting for someone to reply to this problem. I too see it way to often. It is stifling when it happens. Yesterday, I was in a moment of almost spiritual level programming, when I tried to save my work it came up and said that it couldn't because the nfs link had become stale... I tried to resolve this by running: /etc/rc.d/netfs stop /etc/rc.d/netfs start and when that didn't work: /etc/rc.d/netfs restart and when that didn't work: umounting and mounting the fs to their respective mount points and when that didn't work... saved the file to a local file system Even though I was able to save it locally I was pretty upset that I wasn't able to do it on the nfs fs. Then I tried something that seemed to work (while not a solution to understanding stale nfs fs's which I really don't understand- nuf said). I went into the nfs subdir (could only go so far cause of the stale prob) and I typed: sync which then allowed me to move further into the subdir that I was headed to. I kept doing this until I got into the subdir I was wanting to save the file and I synced that too then I tried to save again... It saved it! While I'm not sure how to deal with the nfs stale fs errors, I thought this might help you as it has me when I'm faced with a Stale NFS error. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
