Subject: Unable to connect to NFS Server - mountd crashing
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 11:51:28 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031007105128.34052.qmail@web86001.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi all,

This is driving me nuts because up to yesterday the system was working but
suddenly it went berserk.  I'm trying to connect to m NFS shares on my SuSE 7.1
server and I'm getting the following error:

mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errorno = Connection refused

After a lot of investigation I stumbled on what is happening.  When the nfs
server is started, 'nfsserver status' gives me 'NFS Server is up'.  When I
check with rpcinfo -p server I see portmap, mountd, nfs and ypbind (i'm using
NIS as well which is still working).

When I try to connect from the client and get the error message something
really weird happens on the server. 'nfsserver status' returns 'NFS server
down' and rpcinfo -p server doesn't show mountd anymore.  

I figure that somehow when the call is made mountd is crashing thus shutting
down the nfs server.

Any idea of why this is happening or how to solve it?
