I generally have two filesystems mounted from my gateway machine, throck, to my main development box - time. Both machines run -current. All fine and dandy, except I recently changed throck's address info a bit so that it's gateway address (the ppp line) was jkh-gw and its "ethernet" address was throck. This makes it less confusing for me to deal with its dual presence in two subnets (naming it "throck" in both is greatly evil and causes OTHER problems with NFS and the order in which stuff is looked up in DNS, but I digress). ANYWAY, that's not the issue so much as that when I changed the name, the mounts no longer worked and the behavior exibited by NFS in the face of said failure is the "high weirdness" part. I know WHY it fails, but I don't think it should be failing in this particular way. To wit: root@time-> grep throck /etc/fstab throck:/usr /host/throck/usr nfs rw,tcp 0 0 throck:/cdrom /host/throck/cdrom nfs ro,tcp 0 0 root@time-> ls -l /host/throck/usr ls: /host/throck/usr: Permission denied Heh?! root@time-> ls -l /host/throck ls: usr: Permission denied total 2 drwxrwxr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 6 1995 cdrom !!! /host/throck/usr IS there, if I do: root@time-> mkdir /host/throck/usr mkdir: /host/throck/usr: File exists I get the expected result. But to not be able to even look at it as root? Hmmm! root@time-> ps ax | grep mount 86 ?? Is 0:00.11 mountd 5281 p5 S+ 0:00.03 grep mount Nope, no mount running against it, so I don't even have the easy explanation of the inode being locked somehow as the mount tries futilely to do it.. Any other explanation? Jordan
