Hey folks,
As an experiment I am converting a Caldera Linux
server to use FreeBSD 3.3. The boot drive is now
UFS, but many of the disks on the system are still
ext2fs.
I have rebuilt my kernel and can now mount_ext2fs
and use the Linux disks nicely. Reads, writes,
I've transferred tens of MB back and forth with
no problems between ext2fs land and UFS.
My problem arises when I try to export one of these
drives. I do:
mount_ext2fs /dev/da0s1 /d1
and my exports file is a one-liner that looks like
/d1 -network 192.168.2
The system is quiet after these commands, and I can
still access /d1 locally. If I step over to a client
machine (Linux) and mount this disk via NFS, things
are still fine. The mounting in the client's fstab is
done with (noauto,soft,bg,retrans=1).
The bottom falls out when I try to do an ls -l of the
exported filesystem from the client. The ls works, I
see the server filesystem contents on the client, and
then the server's nfsd dies with a fatal error 12.
Each of these two services (NFS and ext2fs support)
seems to work well independently on this server. Is
there a known problem with using them together?
I really appreciate any advice. I'm not yet subscribed
to this list, so email to my address below would be
great.
FreeBSD seems like a cool replacement for Caldera. In
a few days of work I've gotten most of the needed
services running, and that's without knowing anything
about BSD!
