Organization: Elektronni Visti Date: Tue, 01 Feb 1994 12:28:52 GMT Message-ID: <1994Feb01.122852.15294@elvisti.ua> X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Lines: 52 Hello! I've got a strange trouble when trying to do NFS mount request. There are 2 computers under FreeBSD 1.0.2 on ethernet. The first has larger disk, and I want it to be NFS mounted to cheaper machine. First (larger) machine has a line /usr -root=32767 in /etc/exports. All other configuration files in /etc are untouched from the installation, the only addition: Sun rpc.pcnfsd 2.0 is running with a sample configuration, /etc/rpc slightly changed because of this. Now I'm issueing a command on the second machine: mount -t nfs 193.125.28.16:/usr /mnt It sleeps for a minute, then answers: BAD MNT RPC: RPC: Timed out But the filesystem appears to be mounted! I can use it normally from the client machine. Half a minute after this so called 'mount' :) on the server's console one can read a message (repeated 3 times): Feb 1 12:00:00 peak inetd[73]: mountd/udp server failing (looping), service terminated The filesystem is still exported, client may work with it, but now a command 'ps -ax | grep mountd' on the server shows a large number of mountd-s running! Looks like: 56 ?? Is 0:00:04 mountd 98 ?? Is 0:00:03 mountd 100 ?? Is 0:00:02 mountd 102 ?? Is 0:00:02 mountd 104 ?? Is 0:00:02 mountd [...] 172 ?? Is 0:00:02 mountd 174 ?? Is 0:00:02 mountd 176 ?? Is 0:00:02 mountd 4 'nfsd' daemons and 4 'nfsiod' daemons are still running too, but 'inetd' daemon dies with core dump. Please, wouldn't you be so kind to explain me - what does it mean and what I'm doing wrong? I think this situation isn't normal ;) With best regards Andrew Stesin, Kiev, Ukraine.
