Since last week I've had some really weird problems with NFS, but I do not know where do search for the problem. Maybe some of you have com across somethink like the following:
The problems occur on three NFS Clients (two of them diskless) while the Server shows no problems with the same files. Even the Servers Logfiles are clean ... After rebooting the Client, the Files are accessible again, but other file accesses fail. Apt and dpkg fail during each ~ 3rd installation, showing errors like "Input/output error" or dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/slang1_1.4.4-3.1_i386.deb (--unpack): unable to create `./lib/libslang.so.1.4.4': Too many levels of symbolic links while logging to the client's sylog: Aug 12 17:01:54 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1097449706 mode changed, 0120777 to 0100000 Another Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/ ls: /usr/share/man/man1/gvim.1.gz: Input/output error ls: /usr/share/man/man1/gvim.1.gz.dpkg-tmp: Input/output error ls: /usr/share/man/man1/gview.1.gz.dpkg-tmp: Input/output error ls: /usr/share/man/man1/rgvim.1.gz.dpkg-tmp: Input/output error ls: /usr/share/man/man1/rgview.1.gz.dpkg-tmp: Input/output error ls: /usr/share/man/man1/ex.1.gz.dpkg-tmp: Input/output error ls: /usr/share/man/man1/rvim.1.gz.dpkg-tmp: Input/output error ls: /usr/share/man/man1/rview.1.gz.dpkg-tmp: Input/output error ls: /usr/share/man/man1/view.1.gz.dpkg-tmp: Input/output error total 5720 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 534 Jul 5 23:31 822-date.1.gz [...] At the same time, the following errors were logged: Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353261 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353262 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353263 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353264 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353275 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353276 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353277 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353288 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Aug 12 16:36:27 hobbes kernel: nfs_refresh_inode: inode 1094353659 mode changed, 0100644 to 0120777 Any Ideas ?
