Yes, all clients are configured to tuse nfsv4. Strange, if rpcbind process is stopped after nfs services are up, all works, but if rpcbind is stopped, nfs services doesn't go up ... I don't understand why rpcbind service needs to be up to start nfs services with you use nfsv4 only ... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I finally solved it; although a mystery remains. After getting a hint between differences in the network traffic between windows and linux, it turns out that if I specify the VLAN manually in CentOS; everything pings and works fine. However, the strange part is that Windows did not require specifying the VLAN. I grudgingly installed Windows myself to verify that it works out of the box (the settings show it's set to VLAN 0 or disabled). I did a wireshark comparison between Windows Server 2008 R2 & CentOS on the same blade. What's unusual is that although both have pretty much identical ARP requests down to the mac addresses, the reply for the Windows one is normal with no mention of the VLAN; while the reply for the CentOS one has a 802.1Q Virtual LAN header with the ID (which I guess CentOS does not understand when its network is not configured for VLANs; and so repeats the ARP requests several times). Anyway, I'm glad it's working fine now; hope this helps anyone in a similar situation at some point. -xrx ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That's the typical effect when one side is configured to "full duplex" and the other side to "auto negotiate". The side with the fixed configuration will not reply to the negotiation packets, whereupon the other side will fall back to half duplex. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'd guess you configured NFS to provide both v3 and v4 services, so the daemon needs to register with the portmapper when it starts up. Your logfile should contain a message to that effect. Stopping rpcbind later doesn't directly affect the daemon. It just prevents clients from locating the NFSv3 service via the portmap mechanism. If I'm right, changing the NFS configuration to provide *only* v4 service should allow you to start the NFS service without the portmapper. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have had two recent problems with duplex: One, with a Cisco router - it auto-negotiated every time to half duplex, even though it really -was- full. Use mii-tool to find out. Just a note, auto-negotiation of 10/100 links will not work reliably unless both sides of the link are set to auto-negotiate. If one side is set to 100/full, and the other side is set to auto negotiate, then it will try to negotiate, the side that is hard coded 100/full will _NOT_ negotiate and negotiation will fail, the side that was set to auto negotiate will fail back to a 'fail-safe' 10/half duplex link. My rule of thumb, static link (e.g. those to servers, inter switch links, switch to router links etc...) should just be hard coded. Links that might have a variety of devices connected to them, e.g. the access layer ports - set them to auto-negotiate. -- Regards, Giles Coochey, CCNA, CCNAS NetSecSpec Ltd +44 (0) 7983 877438 http://www.coochey.net http://www.netsecspec.co.uk gi...@coochey.net ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

When creating the VM, do not mark it as RHEL/CentOS, just create a standard VM and then install it via the ISO.
