Hi all,
I'm currently experimenting with an OpenBSD 3.2 box (Sun U5/360) which
I intend to use as file server. Among other things, I want it to serve
home directories. The clients will be mostly Linux boxes (RHL7.3/ix86
and Aurora/Sparc), as well as one or two Solaris/Sparc and maybe the odd
OpenBSD/Sparc.
For the tests right now I'm using a Linux PC as client. I have nfsd
running on the U5, as well as rpc.lockd and portmap. On the Linux box,
I haven't done much, except adding the directories in question to
/etc/fstab.
Mounting the directories on the Linux box works fine, as well as read and
write. The only thing that doesn't work is locking.
All programs that use locking (e.g. mutt -> fcntl) throw errors ("Can't get
lock", "lock failed" and similar) and I am getting error messages on the
Linux box as well each time a program tries to set a lock:
Jan 6 21:53:12 esme kernel: call_verify: server accept status: 2
Jan 6 21:53:12 esme last message repeated 2 times
Jan 6 21:53:12 esme kernel: RPC: garbage, exit EIO
On the OpenBSD box I cannot see any error messages. When I run a trace
on the OpenBSD lockd, I can see traffic coming in and going out, but
nothing that's clear enough to me to draw any conclusions. If I wanted
to trace on the Linux side, which program should I trace?
The "garbage" message led me to think of firewall problems, as there
is a firewall running on the OpenBSD box. However, disabling the
firewall made no difference.
According to the OpenBSD archives, there have been other folks with
similar problems, but no answer. Hence, I decided to ask here as well
- maybe someone out there is using a similar setup and can shed some
light on this. Is there anything on the Linux side that I need to take
into consideration wrt locking over NFS?
Cheerio,
Thomas
