While running the installed 2.2.16-22 kernel that comes with Red Hat 7 everything seems to work ok...running the 2.4 (it happened with 2.4.0 and now with 2.4.1) I have minor problems. I use a removable media drive (A Syquest SyJet 1.5 MB SCSI) as my backup device. Every morning, after the backups are done, a cron job kicks off a script which shuts down nfsd, ejects the disk, and restars nfsd...the job looks like this: /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop umount /mnt/syquest-backup eject /dev/sdb /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start This works for the first couple of days after the system has rebooted. After the system has about 2 days of uptime (this is fairly consistent), nfsd won't restart. The results look like this: Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] Starting NFS daemon: nfssvc: Address already in use [FAILED] Does anyone have any idea what's going on, and what I need to do in order to fix this problem? As it is, I have to reboot the system after 2 days of uptime so that I don't wind up filling up my available disk space with the backups, or risk not having the other system which uses the backup device have the same thing happen because it can't mount the share. Thanks. --Mike _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
