| 612632 | 2007-11-18 18:41:00 | silly question, you running that command Jen gave you as root user ? Yes. 100% sure. | personthingy (1670) | ||
| 612633 | 2007-11-19 03:46:00 | Did you do any fiddling with the server firewall for NFS originally? Under /etc/hosts.allow on the server, does it show the clients IP? Not sure what is with the error message for eth0. Do you have two ethernet devices? What happens if you try to mount the shared directory on the server from the client via command line? |

Not sure what is with the error message for eth0. Do you have two ethernet devices?The eth0 error is probably one of those quirks which is the result of me picking up the harddrive on my original POS, and placing it in what would have been a worse machine, if it wasn't for the fact POS1 died completely. I think the OS still looks for a card(eth0), and then uses eth1, that being the onboard ethernet. I don't think it's the problem, after all i'm typing this using POS (2) via meinserver, but the reference to a lock file has me curious. What happens if you try to mount the shared directory on the server from the client via command line? I don't know how to "mount the shared directory on the server from the client via command line" I ordered a new machine which i hopefully get this week. That will be getting a fresh install, and hopefully that makes the problem go away, unless it's the server, which i'm inclined to think it is..... I'll try Ziggys machine, and see if that likes the NFS shares. |

| 612635 | 2007-11-19 04:24:00 | We just tried Ziggys machine, (suse 10.3) and it attempted to mount the shares only to provide a message saying "permission denied" /me thinks rebooting meinserver has stopped it sharing OK i'm wrong i mounted the 192.168.0.1:/home/chris/Shared/Read_Only directory manually, and it now is visable. The issue it seems is with POS, not server. |

| 612636 | 2007-11-19 04:26:00 | To mount the share (from the client): mount ip.for.mein.server:/dir/thats/shared /dir/to/mount/to As for your eth0/eth1, if there are any errors/issues, these can be generally found by: dmesg | grep eth |

| 612637 | 2007-11-19 04:30:00 | Did you check the contents of /etc/hosts.alllow on the server? How about turning off the firewall for a few minutes, and see what difference that makes? The contents of /etc/hosts.allow shouldn't change on a reboot, but the firewall can certainly decide to reapply some rules that perhaps weren't set. |

| 612638 | 2007-11-19 04:44:00 | Manually mounting the file systems seems to have fixed the issues . . . I'm about to reboot, and see if they will mount on boot as they are supposed to |
personthingy (1670) | ||
| 612639 | 2007-11-19 05:12:00 | Nope . . . . . . . . Not there on boot . I can mount manually, and everything works, but not on automaticly on boot up . The lines on fstab refering to NFS are being ignored, untill i manually mount the shares, whereupon they mount as specified in fstab :confused: |

| 612641 | 2007-11-19 05:30:00 | If you'd like I can have a play with it later on this evening and see if I can fix it for ya :D.I'm planning on a fresh install on a new machine when it's ready for me to pick up later this week, so it's not a huge one now, as i can manually work around it for a day or 2 more, but i'd just like to know what the hey is going on, and hope that it will not be an issue that the new machine mimics. If the new toy does mimic the issue, then definately please fix it! |
