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! -- Richard Abbot rmabbot@zdnetonebox.com - email (201) 305-1011 ext. 1048 - voicemail/fax ___________________________________________________________________ To get your own FREE ZDNet onebox - FREE voicemail, email, and fax, all in one place - sign up today at http://www.zdnetonebox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
