Now I get a lot of these messages On Fri, Nov 03, 2006 at 08:02:09AM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ... > Nov 3 07:30:07 lovesong kernel: nsm_mon_unmon: rpc failed, status=-13 > Nov 3 07:30:07 lovesong kernel: lockd: failed to monitor 172.25.1.11
It would appear that my lockd is not configured properly for an NFS mount. The issue is complicated by having the NFS mount bridge two distributions -- as a result I'm not where where to ask questions, nor how to translate advice about one system to another. I'm finding advice on the Ubuntu sites to be a bit skimpy and optimistic. The messages appear on lovesong, a Debian stable 32-bit Athlon system. 172.25.1.11 is an AMD-64 system running Ubuntu dapper for reasons explained in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379480. It's causing me trouble because monotone very legitimately insists on locking its data base during transactions. That data base is NFS-mounted. Although I have a workaround (to run monotone on 172.25.1.11), it is inconvenient, and will not work for file-locking software that has not been ported to AMD-64. Detailed documentation about how NFS and the lock daemon are *supposed* to interact would be helpful, but I suspect I will need someone to advise on diagnostic commands and help interpret results. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
