List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi We had to reboot our linux NFS server today (RedHat kernel-2.4.18-17.7.x) to fix a disk in our RAID array. When the server came back, clients running this kernel (or ...-19.7.x) couldn't see the exported directory (giving permission denied). In the client logs we saw Jan 23 17:46:16 xpc1 kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 13 Jan 23 17:46:16 xpc1 kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 13 Rebooting the clients fixed the problem, however we don't really want this to happen in the future if the server dies. The server was shut down cleanly. The /etc/exports file looks like /dir @netgroup(rw,no_root_squash) The exported directory is mounted using autofs, with maps supplied using NIS. The clients use the following options (in /proc/mounts). server:/dir /mntpoint/dir nfs rw,v3,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,intr,udp,lock,addr=server.blah 0 0 Any ideas? Is it simply that the RedHat kernel has bugs? NFS utils is at nfs-utils-0.3.3-5. Restarting /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock on the clients didn't help, nor sending HUP signals to any of the rpc processes.
