Respected Sir,
I have two NFS servers acting as backups for each other. We are
working in FreeBSD. Now when a server fails, the other server takes
over the IP address of the failed server on a different Network
Interface. But, now the clients of the failed server are not able to
mount from the backup server inspite of the fact that the mountpoint
permissions are satisfied in /etc/exports. The NFS mountpoints are
shared by both servers. I cannot afford to kill and restart the nfsds.
I run a "kill -s HUP 'cat /var/run/mountd.pid'" after combining the
exports files of both the servers. But still this does not work. How
can I bind the nfsds to the new IP address without restarting them? If
I try to run more nfsds by binding them to the new IP address, it gives
me a "can't bind udp adress: address already in use" error. And still
the nfs clients cannot mount the NFS exported partitions.
Plz help.
Awaiting your reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Balaji.
