Hi all. I have a strange problem with nfs v3. I have one server and two clients. One of the client works fine and is set with autofs.
But recently I am having problems with the other one. I have lookup autofs seems to kill rpc on the server ([1],[2]). 'showmount -a myserver' wont work anymore after that . Mount by hand works, but after some time/use the server exits ([3]). I thought it must be nfs version, but same problem using kernel 2.4.18. I thought it might be a dns pb, but it works perfectly with myotherclient. Is there a reverse lookup ooption in nfs-common / portmap / automount ? what am i missing here ? thx, piem [1] Jul 17 12:29:41 myserver rpc.mountd: export request from 10.0.10.1 Jul 17 12:29:41 myserver rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from ^P:928 for /archives (/archives) Jul 17 12:29:41 myserver rpc.mountd: Fake hostname 1 for 10.0.10.1 - forward lookup doesn't match reverse [2] this is what the client's automount says.
