We're having some NFS trouble that's making us relucant to use Linux NFS servers at the moment, much as we'd like to.
We just moved our workgroup server to linux/x86 from a solaris/sparc, and started getting: NFS lookup failed for server dcs.nac.uci.edu: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error) ...sometimes, when we reboot the NFS server. It seems that reexporting (and sometimes mounting in a 2nd place on the clients?) "fixes" the problem temporarily, but then it comes back again later. I'm not convinced it happens every time we reboot. The message above is from a Solaris box, but I know this is happening with more than one OS - I'm not sure if it's also happening with Linux NFS clients, Tru64 NFS clients, or both Linux and Tru64 NFS clients. I searched the google groups archives and saw that a guy from Burlington Coat Factory was having the same problem, but no one had posted a (public) solution for him. I tried the lkml archives on www.cs.helsinki.fi via altavista, and found nothing. This particular NFS server runs 7.3, but we've also seen the problem on at least two 7.1 NFS servers. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this? -- Dan Stromberg UCI/NACS/DCS -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
