Re: Problems with nfs


Gents:

Make sure both sides of the connection are running the same version of NFS.
Some of the issues describes here can be seen in connections where two versions
NFS try to inter-operate!!!!

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.
