 |
|
Ok NFS magically stopped working (seems to be a common problem with gentoo these days).
No upgrade was done, not changes to the config on the server.
Client returns the following.
| Quote: |
#mount -t nfs 192.168.0.20:/mnt/data /mnt/server/data
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on euclid.1stleg.com:/mnt/data,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
|
dmesg and the message logs have nothing in them. Checking the message log on the server returns nothing about the incident however after restarting nfsd i get the error RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5). And the service returns OK. Pleased not that portmap is running and so is rpc.statd. iptables is disabled and the error still persists.
Again this randomly happened over night.
Ideas?

rpcinfo -p 192.168.0.20
Does it show portmapper running? |

yes it does... here is the strange thing, i installed nfs-utils on the client system and now it works... Very strange. I would still like to know whats causing this issue as it just showed up.
| Code: |
rpcinfo -p 192.168.0.20
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 1030 status
100024 1 tcp 4300 status
100005 1 udp 1038 mountd
100005 1 tcp 3406 mountd
100005 2 udp 1038 mountd
100005 2 tcp 3406 mountd
100005 3 udp 1038 mountd
100005 3 tcp 3406 mountd
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100021 1 udp 1039 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 1039 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 1039 nlockmgr

Frankly, looking at contents of nfs-utils package I do not understand how it worked without it.  |

From the docs i found it seemed to suggest that nfs-utils was not needed for only the simplest of nfs sharing... I guess i will chalk this one up to a quirk.
Thanks |
