Help needed with NFS locking
Subsystems (2)
I'm absolutely stuck on this one. I'm running linux-2.4.21-ac4 on both client and server (problem is not unique to this version of the kernel), with debian-sid distribution on both systems. I'm trying to run /home as an NFS-mounted volume on the client, but no matter what I try, I can't get nfs-locking to work.
rpcinfo -p on the server looks like this:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 665 status 100024 1 tcp 668 status 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100021 1 udp 41255 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 41255 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 41255 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 49464 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 49464 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 49464 nlockmgr 100005 1 udp 728 mountd 100005 1 tcp 731 mountd 100005 2 udp 728 mountd 100005 2 tcp 731 mountd 100005 3 udp 728 mountd 100005 3 tcp 731 mountd
and on the client:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100021 1 udp 32768 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 32768 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 32768 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 32768 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 32768 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 32768 nlockmgr 391002 1 tcp 772 sgi_fam 391002 2 tcp 772 sgi_fam 100024 1 udp 652 status 100024 1 tcp 655 status
And doing a remote rpcinfo between the two machines shows the same information.
The symptom exihibits itself mainly as an inability to use gnome due to file-locking errors, but other applications provide locking warnings as well. BTW, is there a canonical way to test for nfs-locking?
Any suggestions???
