Hi - I've just started playing with amd and NFS inorder to have unified
source and home directories across my machines. Most machines are
FreeBSD-2.2-STABLE with fxp cards. The other machine is FreeBSD-2.1.5
witha crappy old NE2000 thing.
I had problems with NFS mounts from the fast boxes to the one with the
NE2000 card - and changed the mounts over to be TCP mounts instead... and
that fixed that problem.
Then I started using AMD with the following maps:
on /mnt/hosts:
/defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost};rhost:=${key}
* host==${key};type:=linkx;fs=/ \
host!=${key};opts:=rw,grpid,intr,nodevs,sort,tcp
This way I can access any host including the current host, via
/mnt/hosts/<machine-name>.
The I added this map on /homes:
/defaults type:=linkx
#
* host==${key};fs:=/home \
host!=${key};fs:=/mnt/hosts/${key}/usr/home
This way /homes/<machine>/<user> always points to
/mnt/hosts/<machine>/usr/home/<user>.
Anyway - this all works wine on the fast boxes - but on the slow box, amd
seems to hang after about 15 minutes after the first mount it does. I can
kill all processes using the NFS mounts (which are still live and working
under /a, but hanging under and AMD mount points - /homes and /mnt/hosts)
- I can then unmount the NFS mounts. But - when I try to kill the
automounter, it just sits there and I have to do a kill -9 to make it go
away. Problem is that the amd:<pid> mounts are still there - and any
further AMD processes I start just hang right away.
Does anyone have any ideas about this - it's all new ground for me. And
it's really annoying. Is there any way to make amd do it's amd:<pid>
mounts (whatever the hell they are) - differently like the normal NFS
mounts?
Thanks a lot for any advice anyone might have about this.
