List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I have an NFS failover cluster. The /var/lib/nfs directory is not shared, but it is synchronized at regular intervals. When one server fails, the other server is supposed to pick up and continue the service. Most of the time it works, but sometimes while the 2nd server is running exportfs, I get a list of: hostname:/grp2: Invalid argument The script detects an error and fails to start the nfs service correctly. Usually I am able to rerun the script by hand and it works just fine. Is there something obvious here that I should look for before I delve into the code. I am running 2.4.19-rc3 with SGI's XFS patches. I am also running what I think is the most recent nfs-utils; version 1.0.1 Thanks in advance for any help. --David Dougall ______________________________________ Inflex Virus Scanner - installed on mailserver for domain @et.byu.edu Queries to: postmaster@et.byu.edu ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ NFS maillist - NFS@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs
