NFS problem between AIX and SuSE

NFS problem between AIX and SuSE

Post by Antony Ma » Fri, 10 Sep 1999 04:00:00



Hi all,
    I recently setup a NFS server on my SuSE 6.0 box for backup purpose.
Everything was fine when I exported a FS between two SuSE Box. But when I
exported a FS to a AIX 4.3.2 Box, it take over one hour to copy a 5MB file
from the exported filesystem(SuSE) to local filesystem(AIX). It didn't
provide any logs or messages either in the linux bos nor AIX box. Can anyone
have any idea on this problem?
thanks

Had a similar problem going to/from AIX 4.3.2 stock install.    We had to
upgrade to the latest bos.net.* filesets to fix the problem.

 
 
 

1. NFS-Problem: AIX 4.3 <-> Linux (Suse 8.0)

Hi Experts,

NFS-Server ist an Intel-PC (hostname "linux",running SuSE 8.0.
# ls /latest
.  ..  dir_a  dir_b
# cat /etc/exports
/latest \
 *(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

Client is a IBM Workstation running AIX 4.3 :
root # mount linux:/latest /mnt
mount: 1831-008 giving up on:
linux:/latest
vmount: Operation not permitted.

Alternative using the AIX-automounter:
root # cd /net/linux
root # ls -l
total 1
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     system         2 17 Jun 14:04 latest
root # ls -la latest
total 2
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     system         2 17 Jun 14:04 .
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     system         5 17 Jun 14:04 ..

No problems accessing other Unix-NFS-Servers (Solaris, HP-UX, AIX) from the
AIX-box.
No problems accessing the Linux-NFS-Server from Solaris or HP-UX boxes.

Who can't I mount the Linux-shares on AIX?

Thanks for any hint.
