Greetings, I have been experiencing this strange problem mounting Apollo stations (running SR10.1) from a Sun running 4.1. Although everything works fine for a while, eventually some top level entries disappear from the mount point. This is how it looks like initially: (pluton is a Sun 4/260 running 4.1, apollo is the NFS server for a ring of 31 DN35X0 running SR10.1) ----- marc@pluton> grep apollo /etc/fstab apollo:// /apollo nfs rw,bg,intr,actimeo=1 0 0 marc@pluton> cd /apollo marc@pluton> ls -a ./ batman/ haddock/ lefuneste/ popeye/ tournesol/ achille/ brutus/ hagar/ lucky_luke/ robin/ tweety/ alf/ daffy/ idefix/ obelix/ rupert/ archie/ dino/ jeremy/ odie/ snoopy/ asterix/ garfield/ joker/ olive/ sqeedly/ atomas/ gaston/ lebrac/ peanut/ tintin/ ----- After a while this is what we get: ----- marc@pluton> ls -a ./ alf/ asterix/ batman/ daffy/ garfield/ achille/ archie/ atomas/ brutus/ dino/ gaston/ ----- Unmounting and remounting /apollo cures the problem for a while. This problem only started after the upgrade to SunOS 4.1, we still have a 4.0.3 machine and it is not acting up. I've tried various mount options without much luck. Anyone seen this? Any cure, bug fix, work around? Thanks in advance, Marc. -- Marc P. Rinfret Systems Administrator marc@matrox.com (514)685-7230 x2604 Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd. ...!uunet!matrox!marc

After we did some investigation we found that it appeared to be a problem with the Apollo code. Apollo support recommended that we try running sr10.2 NFS on the sr10.1 node. The problem disappeared. =========================== Jay Wilson (wilsonj@gtephx) UUCP: {ncar!noao!asuvax | uunet!zardoz!hrc | att}!gtephx!wilsonj AG Communication Systems, Phoenix, AZ voice (602) 581-4496 fax (602) 581-4967
