Wow all I want to do is install tomcat and I'm running into every problem possible. Right now this is what's going on.
error: failed to stat /mnt/chuck: Stale NFS file handle Chuck is a remote computer at Indiana University. It occurs while I'm trying to install java with rpm -i, I tried killing it, but I cant find the process id because lsof only returns: lsof: WARNING: can't stat() nfs file system /mnt/chuck Output information may be incomplete. I tried overmounting the file system but that didn't seem to work. I used mount -O. By way why would chuck (a remote computer) effect the installation of java? or is this another problem? And yes, I am root. Also certain permissions seem impossible to change. rpms $ rpm -iv --replacepkgs j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm error: failed to stat /mnt/chuck: Stale NFS file handle Preparing packages for installation... j2sdk-1.4.1_02-fcs cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/appletviewer.1':Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/extcheck.1':Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/idlj.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/jar.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/jarsigner.1':Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/java.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/javac.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/javadoc.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/javah.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/javap.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/jdb.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/keytool.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/native2ascii.1':Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/orbd.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/policytool.1':Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/rmic.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/rmid.1': Permissiondenied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/rmiregistry.1':Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/serialver.1':Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file`/usr/local/man/man1/servertool.1':Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/tnameserv.1':Permission denied then I try to uninstall it with rpms $ rpm -e j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm error: package j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm is not installed error: failed to stat /mnt/chuck: Stale NFS file handle Also I went to /usr/local/man/man1/ and tried to change the permissions man1 $ chmod 777 jdb.1 chmod: changing permissions of `jdb.1': Read-only file system but nothing changes. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
