List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hi! I just installed a new server, one of it's roles being our nfsserver. I installed an actual Suse 9.2 professional (from DVD) using the following things: - Linux ... 2.6.8-24-smp #1 SMP Wed Oct 6 09:16:23 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux -> kernel-smp-2.6.8-24 kernel-source-2.6.8-24 kernel-smp-nongpl-2.6.8-24 - yast2-nfs-server-2.10.5-2 - nfs-server-2.2beta51-208 - yast2-nfs-client-2.10.5-2 The connection Linux server -> Linux client runs without any problem, but... I also try to connect from some Unix boxes with different unices. There are: - SunOS ... 5.8 Generic_108528-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 - HP-UX ... B.11.11 U 9000/782 2011691852 unlimited-user license - HP-UX ... B.11.00 A 9000/785 2009266684 two-user license - IRIX64 ... 6.5 04091957 IP30 - AIX ... 2 5 0041192C4C00 All platforms make problems with the new server. I can mount the shares, but the performance is really poor. I get many nfs stale-file handles. On Sun (only there?) I have the problem, that when I touch a file/directory, I don't see it resp. the changes immediately. I googled around, but I can't find anything. I only found somesthing like "Just watch out that NFS can make assumptions about inodes - particularly the kernel-mode NFS daemon.", but I don't know what this means (but it sounds good ;-) ). Please help me! And please send a copy of your answer directly to me, for I'm new to the list and I don't know, if I receive the mails yet.
