Hello. I'm not a member of this mailing list, but I was told that
this is the proper form for these sorts of questions.
I'm running Debian 1.1-beta on a pentium box on a network of mostly
suns. The system here is setup with user's accounts on a server and
amd automatically mounting them wherever you log. So far so good.
I'm developing in C++ full time, and find that nfs mounting my account
is way too slow, so my account is on my linux box. Somewhere around
every 6-18 hours something breaks and my account can no longer be
mounted by anyone, including our webserver and mailserver. If I kill
rpc.mountd and restart it, everything is happy again. Note that if I
su to root and try to mount my acocunt even onto my local box, that
the mount hangs and the rpc finally times out. rpcinfo still shows
everything as normal.
Any ideas? I'm new to all of this networking administration stuff,
although I've been using unix boxes for 4-5 years and linux for 2.
Please cc any responses directly to me (dmartin@ece.uc.edu)w, as I
mentioned, I'm not on this list.
