Hi: I have a NFS problem on our 10.2 node that maybe someone can help me with. We have a mixture of 9.7 and 10.2 nodes on our network. I recently upgraded our Sun's mount point Apollo to SR10.2 and started experiencing problems with the Apollo mounts on our Suns. I'm getting these errors messages on our Suns: From a 'df' command, I get: 1.30 ~=>df /apollo NFS getattr failed for server tule: RPC: Authentication error df: /apollo: I/O error Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on From a 'cd' and 'ls' command, I get: 1.31 ~ =>cd /apollo 1.32 /apollo =>ls NFS lookup failed for server tule: RPC: Authentication error NFS lookup failed for server tule: RPC: Authentication error ls: .: I/O error But then after a while, I can't even 'cd' to the directory. 1.38 ~=>cd /apollo NFS getattr failed for server tule: RPC: Authentication error /apollo: I/O error where 'tule' is the name of our node and '/apollo' is the mount point. When this happens, users cannot access the '/apollo' directory from the Sun. What's strange is IF I SU AS ROOT on the Sun, I'm able to access the apollo file system WITHOUT THESE PROBLEMS. It seems to be only when I'm log in as a regular user, do I get the above error messages. This happens only on our sr10.2 nodes. If I mount a 9.7 node, this problem this not occur. We been using NFS on our 9.7 nodes for several years now without much problem. The UIDs and GIDs are synced between the Suns and Apollos. Our writable registry is on the 9.7. We running NFS on all our Apollos. As anyone else experience this problem and found a cure for it? I've called Sun and they said that it is probably not their problem but an Apollo problem.

No, I have no clue how to fix it (well, yes I do, but I don't feel like making a client nfs right now). It seems to have something to do with the Apollo's nfsd owner changing from root/user to a 'person'. >I've called Sun and they said that it is probably not their >problem but an Apollo problem. This is a definite problem with 10.2. 10.1 nfs had a completely different problem. -- Roger Fujii - Media Cybernetics Phone: (301)495-3305 Internet: rmf%media@uunet.uu.net UUCP: {uunet,hqda-ai}!media!rmf
