When I try to mount a filesystem on one of my workstations I get:
# mount /Tex
Bad MNT RPC: /Tex_at_server: RPC: Timed out
and the mount command goes into a sleep state.
rpcinfo -u server status
gives:
program 100024 version 1 ready and waiting
This is what happened. Last night they changed the nameservers
(cancelled an old one). In preparation, I changed /etc/resolv.conf
on all our machines. This morning trying to open and XDMCP session
on our X-terminals was very slow. I changed the address of our old
nameserver in /etc/hosts and in the NIS hosts file. I tried to re-mount
the nfs mounted disks. On one machine I umounted all the nfs disks and
when I tried to mount them again I got the RPC: Timed out message.
Nothing I have tried helped (HUPping inet, restarting named, start/stop
nis, nfs, nfsetup). I am really stumped here. Rebooting is not a good
option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Peter
