Re: Problems with nfs

Also, why does nfs access appear to be so horribly slow? Loading a directory with ~150 files takes about two minutes in mc. I understand fork() issue, but what are problems with just reading files descriptors?


I resolved the problem with slowness. This appeared to happen because of seteuid() error (discovered in logs). Local system account on Win7 doesn't have token creation/change rights. I fixed this by creating own local user with sufficient privileges and running nfsd under this account. BTW, may be you should add remark about this particularity into nfs-server.README file? It's not obvious, because the system works, just very slowly. The user might think it's okay.
But RPC problem didn't go away. I tried to run portmapd under the same user with no positive result. The first thing client says is:
pmap_getmaps.c: rpc problem: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer
I tried to completely turn off Windows firewall, again with no effect. So i still have to restart portmap service after i log in into the system in order to get NFS working.
And one more little but annoying thing. All files on Linux site appear to have owner and group id == 42949672. However access control works correctly (i didn't modify any Cygwin mounts and i have ACLs turned on). /etc/nfs/server.map is set up correctly (i guess so, because access control works, i can read write and execute my files). Looks like it's some problem with reverse mapping.
