Subject: NFS problem: Irix 5.2 server, 2.2-960501-SNAP client
Sender: owner-current@FreeBSD.ORG

Precedence: bulk

I have an interesting nfs problem...

The server is running irix 5.2 and the client is running 2.2-960501-SNAP.
The mount exit without any error, but when I do df, ls or pwd I get
the following:

# df
Filesystem        1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0a             49231    14290    31003    32%    /
/dev/sd0s1f         1388387   446552   830765    35%    /usr
/dev/sd0s1e           49231      797    44496     2%    /var
procfs                    4        4        0   100%    /proc
hermes:/n/hermes    1468230  1316047   152183    90%    /n/hermes
hermes:/n/hermes2    997025   867008   130016    87%    /n/hermes2
delphi:/n/delphi     639048   639048        0   100%    /n/delphi
delphi:/n/delphi2    639048   639048        0   100%    /n/delphi2
# cd /n/delphi
# ls
ls: .: Not a directory
# pwd
pwd: Not a directory
# 

The last two filesystems listed in df are the problem filesystems.

The funny thing is, I can nfs mount another SGI(hermes) also running
irix 5.2 without any problems.  The server with problems(delphi) is a
Challenge S server and (hermes) is Indigo.  The only difference I can
think of is, (hermes) was upgraded from irix 4.05 and the filesystem
was created in irix 4.05.  All filesystems on (delphi) was created in
irix 5.2.

Any ideas?

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks!
