nfs server

[KAD]

nfs-utils is building now

but something odd README in nfs-utils package states it's critical that rpc.mountd and exportfs be started before rpc.nfsd

and I'm using the S94nfsserver start script from WDLXTV which starts rpc.nfsd before anything else the only item started prior to nfsd is portmap

edit: new nfs-utils has the same result as debian-squeeze binaries
also changing the daemons start order did not change the result

I'm not sure if you can start the NFS daemon with strace (and write the output to a log file). Also, if you can do it, instruct strace to follow forks. You should at least see what it dies of...

[KAD]

well, I'm out of idea's

strace and packet captures are not providing me any usefull info

I did confirm that only nfs version 2 is being exported/available
but specify vers=2 still fails

I guess, I'll have to ditch the idea of adding nfs server

unless somebody else has a brilliant idea

[KAD]

well I found that specifying vers=2

the error message in kernel log is different
"kernel: nfsd: peername failed (err 134)!".

but I also found RMerlin had the same issue with router firmware, and was unable to find any fix

http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/forums/showthread.php?p=125930

and what's even more ironic, the user reporting the error was using the nfs server on his router, to share to a WD SMP
what's unclear is the error coming from the kernel itself or the kernel module

either way, I don't think I can fix it

Couldn't help to google bit too, although this is way out of my comfort zone

I started from here: , these guys also got NFS issues (on an SMP box), at the same virtual address as you (0000008c). I read through the answers, something with kernel compile preempt came up, something with corrupt memory and network drivers. Don't know if it helps you further down the line?

Why don't you use samba?

[KAD]

lol, it's way out of what I should be doing, but hey learning a lot

and like usuall, I will probably never use the function (all my media is already on a home server)
just keeping myself busy, adding more stuff to SMP firmware

This really sounds like a kernel problem... if this is the case there's not much you can do to fix it (signed kernel yadayadayada...)

[kroetkroet]

yada yada yada

and then I stopped reading
