Message-ID: <20010804010154.M4160-100000@klima.physik.uni-mainz.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. This seems to be a never ending story :-( I reported several problems with 4.4-PRERELEASE and for 4.3-STABLE as for the 1st August 2001. These problems are highly related to our diskless stations and to NFS. Very often I see a kinf of 'NFS race 0:81' or similar message on the console of one of our slave servers which mounts its diskspace from a master server. On the other hand, we have problems with our diskless stations acting as X terminals. the image of PXEBOOT seems to be broken! It makes each terminal hang after it tries to boot. Then there is a TFTP problem! very often several terminals can not boot due to the fact of a TFTP timeout on the server - and I can not reproduce this behaviour! The same configuration, the same small network (and no outer influences!) and the same strange behaviour sometimes. I boot a terminal - and it works fine, I boot it again - and it stops working! Does someone observed the same strange behaviour? -- MfG O.
