5.1 NFS locking problems

2003-06-27 Thread Mark Hannon
Hi,

I have two 5.1-RELEASE boxes with an NFS locking problem.  One box is
the NFS server and the other the client.  When attempting to login via
gdm I get:

messages:Jun 27 18:09:07 tbird gconfd (mark-2316): Failed to get lock for
daemon, exiting: Failed to lock '/home/mark/.gconfd/lock/ior': probably another
process has the lock, or your operating system has NFS file locking
misconfigured (Resource temporarily unavailable)

rpc.statd and rpc.lockd are running on both the server and client.

Any ideas how to trace?

Regards/mark

5.0-RC1 Binary Upgrade = Kernel Trap

2002-12-10 Thread Mark Hannon

Hi,

Some notes on my upgrade / fresh install experiences with 5.0-RC1.

1) Binary Upgrade doesn't recognize existing swap partitions

Original configuration, Athlon 1.2, IDE, 4.7 + Gnome2 etal.

I booted the install CD, selected 'upgrade', ignored the warnings
and proceeded to the disk label menu.  At this point I re-mounted
all my existing partitions (except swap) and hit Q.  The installer
then complained that I had no swap and it wouldn't continue
(despite the presence of a 'b' slice).  I returned to the label
editor, deleted and then re-created the 'b' slice and continued
the upgrade.

2) Binary Upgrade from 4.7-RELEASE failed with kernel trap

After choosing the installation sets and install media I hit ENTER
and the installation started.  About 10% through the base install
the system halted with a kernel trap:

type 12 trap, code 0
Stopped at vfs_setdirty+0x56:   movzwl 0x3e(%ebx),%eax

3) Not able to reset active partition

Given that I now had a partially installed system I elected to
re-install from scratch, a new attempt, with re-labelled and newfs
partitions installed without complications.

After rebooting the installed system I wanted to reset the active
partition to my NTFS primary (where I use the Win2K boot.ini to
boot FreeBSD).

I was not able to get fdisk to set the active partition.

4) Gnome install did not create gdm user/group

As part of the initial install I selected gnome2, the packages
were all installed, however the gdm user/groups were not added to
the system.  I had to manually add them, reset directory ownership
and permissions to get gdm to start.

5) Mozilla not on CD

Can I suggest that mozilla would be a better browser to stick on
the install CD than netscape?

Haven't had more time to play with things yet as when I finally
tried to login to gnome it complained that it couldn't lock some
file in my (NFS mounted) homedirectory.  I will poke around
tonight and check if I have enabled NFS client side locking.

Regards/Mark
