Hi Managers,
I am in a deep mess at the moment. I am alone in the
office and the server does not boot up. Our lokal time
in Hamburg/Germany is 20:00. And I will have to stay
here until the server is up. Oh my god...
Here is the problem I cannot solve alone:
All systems are running DU4.0f
The server does not boot up. It hangs during mounting NFS.
The server (we call it "server", it is a NFS Server)
NEEDS to mount an NFS share at boottime. Maybe it does
matter, that the share it has to mount, comes from
itself. In other words: It is an NFS Server and NFS Client
mounting the share from the server on the same machine.
But this wasn't a problem in the past.
I am talking about this entry in the fstab:
asenfs:/PHYSnet nfs /PHYSnet rw,intr 0 0
(this is not the exact contens, only what I am remembering to)
When the boot process is to mount that nfs device "mounting NFS...",
error messages are printed to the console:
"Bad MNT RPC: asenfs:/PHYSnet: RPC: Timed out"
repeating every 5 to 10 sec...
Pressing Crtl-C is no option to me, because it is
really necessary that this NFS share is mounted, before
the bootprocess ca continue. (NIS data is stored there)
What does this message mean? How can I localize the mis-
configuration?
PS I can go to single-user mode.
Axel.
