List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I've seen this problem a couple of times (I think I reported it to the list before but I can find the posting). Using the automounter to mount home directories (rw,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,udp,lock), it seems that rebooting a Linux server can give a "Permission denied" on the client. Further attempts at accessing the mountpoint give this error. It can be fixed my umounting it (if nothing is using it), and reaccessing the mountpoint. The server is running RedHat's 2.4.18-27.7.x kernel, and the client is using 2.4.18-17.7.x (unfortunately). dmesg on the client shows: nfs: server server.ast.cam.ac.uk not responding, still trying nfs: task 57889 can't get a request slot nfs: server server.ast.cam.ac.uk OK nfs: server server.ast.cam.ac.uk OK sendmail gave errors such as: May 7 16:07:39 xserv1 sendmail[22255]: h47EwYl22254: forward /home/gmorris: transient error: Timeout on file open May 7 16:07:39 xserv1 sendmail[22195]: h47Eljl22194: forward /home/gmorris: transient error: Timeout on file open May 7 16:07:39 xserv1 sendmail[22255]: h47EwYl22254: forward /home/gmorris/.forward: Permission denied May 7 16:07:39 xserv1 sendmail[22195]: h47Eljl22194: forward /home/gmorris/.forward: Permission denied Any ideas? I suppose it's hard to diagnose this without a network traffic analysis, and we're not using the standard kernel either. I suppose it could be an automounter bug.
