However, I have found another, apparently related, error that may help someone figure this out. I figured the most likely culprit was mountd, so I tried 'killall -HUP mountd', and found the following in /var/log/messages: Jan 23 15:37:07 ceres mountd[121]: could not remount /cdrom: Invalid argument Jan 23 15:37:07 ceres mountd[121]: bad exports list line /cdrom -alldirs -ro grendel poppy Now, the actual line in /etc/exports is: /cdrom -alldirs -ro grendel poppy The other exported filesystem has the line: /usr/home -alldirs grendel poppy and doesn't seem to generate an error message from mountd. I've checked the man page for exports over and over again and I'm damned if I can see what the invalid argument might be. A few months ago the mount command was also giving me an error message based on an invalid argument in /etc/exports, but it's not doing that any more, just the 'device busy', but I suspect this has something to do with it. The frustrating thing is it was working a couple of months ago, before we took our two-week Xmas break, and I was able to access the cdrom from the other server (indeed, all over the subnetwork which depends on the other server). -- Roger The way I drive I don't have to worry about cholesterol.
