Did you have to do any server-side tuning (e.g., allowing remote connections), or did it just work out of the box? I know that Sendmail needs some gentle persuasion to accept remote connections out of the box; perhaps lockd is the same? So, you've been having this problem since April. Did you ever try getting packet traces to see where the problem is? As I previously stated, if you want, you can forward the traces to me to look at. Let me know if you need the directions on how to capture them. --macko ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Would somehow going back to the earlier 8/2 setup make things better? As noted in the earlier thread, the annoying lockd thing is not a ZFS issue, but rather a networking issue. FWIW, I never saw a resolution. But the suggestions for how to debug situations like this still stand: So, it looks like you need to investigate why the client isn't getting responses from the server's lockd. This is usually caused by a firewall or NAT getting in the way. I would also check /var/log/system.log and /var/log/kernel.log on the Mac to see if any other useful messages are getting logged. Then I'd grab packet traces with wireshark/tcpdump/snoop *simultaneously* on the client and the server, reproduce the problem, and then determine which packets are being sent and which packets are being received.

This is usually caused by a firewall or NAT getting in the way. Great idea--I was indeed connected to my network using the AirPort interface, thorugh a Wifi router. So as an experiment, I tried using a hard-wired, manually set up Ethernet connection. Same result: no dice. :-( I checked the firewall settings on my laptop, and the firewall is turned off. Do you have any other ideas? It'd be really nice to get this working! I would also check /var/log/system.log and /var/log/kernel.log on the Mac to see if any other useful messages are getting logged.

Does apple have any plans to get in on this? They need to implement NFSv4 in general first :) Technically, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has some basic NFSv4.0 support in it. But just enough to make it look like it passes all the Connectathon tests. Not enough to warrant use by anyone but the terminally curious (or masochistic). This is mentioned briefly in the mount_nfs(8) man page. It would be reasonable to expect that future MacOSX releases will include increasing levels of functionality and that NFSv4 will eventually be made the default NFS version. But you'd have to ask them on their lists what the status of that is... i know i would like it... Or get lucky and happen to have one of their engineers catch the question on this list and reply... ;-) --macko ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
