NFS server error messages...What do they mean
The Almonds
I hav configured 5 NFS servers. I have each server
setup as a client and a server with the default
switches specified in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
I periodically get the following error message when
booting one of the servers.
CAnnont send MNT PRC: PRC: port mapper
failure-rpc:timeout.
Since I have "5" NFS servers setup on the same network
do I need to configure the servers with different
options in /etc/defaults/rc.conf?
Can a server also be configured as a client with no
issues?
I know someone will ask. So, the reason why I am
doing this is to test a hardware network device. So,
I am using NFS to copy files from one machine to the
other.
I have 5 machines setup 1,2,3,4,5. I set up the
mounts via NFS as follows
1 to 2
2 to 3
3 to 4
4 to 5
5 to 1
I then copy data in the following pattern at the same
time.
1 to 2
2 to 3
3 to 4
4 to 5
5 to 1
I leave this running for 24 hours at least.
I also get an error message that sometimes the NFS
server has stopped responding.
Any help would be appreciated.
