New Sarge NFS Server Unexporting after certain interval?

[Ian Melnick]

Hi all,

Just dist-upgrade'd and now have a new problem. I have a typical setup
where one computer is the nis/nfs server, and the other workstations use
autofs to mount the home dirs on login. Seems like after a certain
period, the home directories become unexported, or something. I have to
restart the nfs program and do exportfs -a, and then restart autofs on
the workstation in order for it to properly be able to login and mount.
Logging in again shortly after logging out is no problem. But logging in
again after a while, it no longer is able to mount the directory, and I
have to restart the services and export again.

Is there a new timeout or something that I can change? I have the stuff
in /etc/exports set up as 'sync', if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

I went through the same steps and mindset but after reading
other posts about "nfs problem", I back-reved my
nfs-kernel-server and my problems went away.

Good luck.

I don't speak for Goodyear and they don't speak for me. We're both happy.

Thanks. Is there a straightforward way for doing that?

Go to snapshot.debian.net and find the old .debs. Use the
changelog.Debian.gz file to figure out how far back in time you need to
go.

There probably is. Someone else suggested going to
snapshot.debian.net and getting the old .debs. I did
"locate nfs-kernel-server" on my box and found these:

/var/cache/apt/archives/nfs-kernel-server_1%3a1.0.2-1_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/nfs-kernel-server_1%3a1.0.2-2_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/nfs-kernel-server_1%3a1.0.3-1_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/nfs-kernel-server_1%3a1.0.3-2_i386.deb

So I then did this:

# dpkg --install /var/cache/apt/archives/nfs-kernel-server_1%3a1.0.3-1_i386.deb
There's probably a better/easier way to do this but this worked
for me. YMMV, of course.

Worked like a charm! Thanks so much!
