Transport Endpoint

[Michael C]

Good Evening,

I am working with ZFS on my Ubuntu 8.10 workstation with my deprecated
OpenSolaris available to the system available via "/dev/sdb". I have
successfully imported the pool etc. I am able to browse select areas
of the mounted disk, but whenever I attempting to view my home
directory I am presented with the error as follows:

cd: /export: Transport endpoint is not connected

I have reviewed some forums online and I have been unable to resolve
this previously. Any insight provided would be much appreciated.


Regards,

M

Typically, that happens when you have a filesystem mounted in /export
and the (zfs-)fuse daemon dies.

It's hard to diagnose the problem without more information.

Can you check to see if 'df' also reports "transport endpoint not
connected" on that filesystem as it usually does?
Are there other ZFS filesystems mounted at that time?

Usually, you can clear that error by doing "umount /export". Then check
"df" to see if you have cleared all such errors.

Once you've cleared all such errors, make sure you don't have the
zfs-fuse daemon running by doing "zfs umount -a" and "killall
zfs-fuse" (you may get an error in "zfs umount -a" if the zfs-fuse
daemon was not running).

After that, go to your zfs-fuse tree and do:
1) cd src/zfs-fuse
2) ./run.sh

On another terminal:

3) zfs mount -a
4) cd /export

If you get the same error, then it means the zfs-fuse daemon died and
should have left a core file in $ZFS_FUSE/src/zfs-fuse.

You can then provide more information by following steps 4 and 5
described in the BUGS file that comes with zfs-fuse.

Thanks,
Ricardo

Ricardo,

Thanks for the timely reply. The described issue happens regardless if
all filesystems are mounted or just one, the issue still persists. I
followed your instructions and I am still receiving the same error.
When I attempt to access "/export" I am presented with the
aforementioned error and the application dies and provides a core
dump. I will be forwarding the results of the core dump as requested
in the "BUGS" file.


Regards,

M
