Hi!
After upgrading a diskless client (root fs mounted via NFS) to the GNOME
2.2 backport packages, I get the following error message when logging in
into X:
"Could not lock the file "/nethome/wile/.gconf-test-locking-file"; this
indicates that there may be a problem with your operating system
configuration. If you have an NFS-mounted home directory, either the
client or the server may be set up incorrectly. See the rpc.statd and
rpc.lockd documentation. A common cause of this error is that the
"nfslock" service has been disabled.The error was "No locks available"
(errno = 37)"
Via google, I found hints that switching the NFS server from
nfs-user-server to nfs-kernel-server solves the problem, but this didn't
fix it (no change).
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Here is my configuration:
Server:
Debian 3.0 (woody)
Kernel 2.4.23
nfs-kernel-server pkg version 1:1.0-2woody1
/etc/exports:
/clients acme(rw,no_root_squash)
"ps axf|grep lock" says:
707 ? SW 0:00 [lockd]
Client:
Debian 3.0 (woody)
Kernel 2.4.16
GNOME 2.2 backport from
ftp.acc.umu.se::mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody/
(also nfs-kernel-server pkg version 1:1.0-2woody1, should not matter)
"mount" says:
monet:/clients/10.1.1.6 on / type nfs (rw)
"ps axf|grep lock" says:
99 ? SW 0:00 [lockd]
What I already tried:
- switching from nfs-user-server to nfs-kernel-server
- specifying "lock" option when mounting the home dir
- symlinking .gconf* directories to a ramdrive
Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Chris
