Hi, After only one off-list reply from the author of kern/136865 (see below) after asking -questions, I thought it worth asking -CURRENT. Basically:
I seem to have run into the problems described in this old thread. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-April/044927.html tl:dr mountd may give incorrect permission denied errors when it is refreshing the exports list due to non-atomic operations, /sbin/mount has code that sends SIGHUP to mountd on any mount operation, which implies that any manual mount request would cause the problem. Currently I have still only tested on 8.3-RELEASE but the svn log doesnt seem to mention a fix since then. I'm currently taking a VM up to -CURRENT to test. Looking though old PRs I see the following related. kern/131342 kern/136865 (with patch for 7.2 and links to http://nfse.sourceforge.net/ for -CURRENT ) Does anyone who is qualified (sadly not me) feel like looking at the code to see if its suitable for inclusion in part/whole as not having NFS transfers interrupted by local mount operations on the nfs server would be very handy :) thanks, Vince _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
