| Post subject: | I need some help with SAMBA / NFS on A22 |
In the past I have never had a problem with NFS exports or SAMBA shares. A few couple of months back, both just stopped working for me. Being home sick I have had some time to revisit this, and spent a good bit of time failing to resolve the problem. I have been through the the NFSHowTo, and UsingSambaHowTo at the Wiki numerous times. Which is a little silly at this point since I have written here at the forums a few times to walk others through this process. It is so simple, and with the last several releases, most of this is not even needed. I have gone through what I can think of in the logs trying to find some indication of what is wrong, but nothing. Basically, the clients keep timing out when trying to connect to a windows share or NFS export. Both my Mac's and a Windows box I set up just to trouble shoot this. I can SFTP to the Knoppmyth box without issue, and a port scan shows everything is open to the needed ports as well. Though every single client computer trying to connect times out. What log file am I missing? I even reinstalled NFS common, and the kernel server to no avail. Any guidance to where to look to try and trouble shoot this would be great. |

Are you poking at it from the command line or using webmin? I highly recommend the later. Memory tells me that a couple installs back some default changed and I had to fiddle with the settings. I remember ending up deleteing all my NFS exports and mounts and recreating them, but don't remember what setting needed tweaking. |

Man... at this point I have tried everything. For NFS I removed everything and then apt-get installed it all again. I removed the exports, then put those back. I tried configuring and reconfiguring both SAMBA and NFS from the command line and webmin.. No dice. I have set both of these up so many times in the past with different flavors of linux, and knoppmyth. I just can't seem to get what is missing with what I have now. As I look back, it may have broke with my A22 upgrade when it was first released. I thought that maybe it worked in the beginning of A22, but looking closer, I am pretty sure that when I did the upgrade from A16 on October 22 that it stopped working. I still have my dd image file of hda1 from A16, and I mounted it, and checked the config files there and everything seems to match. I am stumped. Sitting at a working A22 (accept for this one part) back-end in the middle of new programs I am hesitant to muddle through redoing my backend and screwing something bigger up. Here is something from log.smbd when trying to connect from a client: Quote: [2006/01/19 19:19:42, 0] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_mem_get(537) prs_mem_get: reading data of size 2 would overrun buffer. [2006/01/19 19:19:42, 0] rpc_server/srv_pipe.c:api_pipe_bind_req(919) api_pipe_bind_req: unable to unmarshall RPC_HDR_RB struct. After redoing all the NFS exports and re-adding: Quote: /myth *(rw) The client returns a error saying that the username or password is not correct. I even tried with the mythtv use and still nothing. I don't know where NFS dumps its logs to look up what it is returning on the knoppmyth side.
/myth/video/Movies *(rw) |

OK, here are what I'm using successfully to export my /myth partition to the local private network (see the bottom): http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NFSHowTo And the mount options from my workstation: Code: black2:/myth on /myth type nfs (rw,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,addr=192.168.1.103)

I went through all that again.. I did manage to get one NFS export to work, but it kept disconnecting on the client side. I got AFP up and running, and though NFS also has reconnect features, AFP seems more stable with my OSX clients. But, it is also not 100%. I am starting to suspect either NIC problem in the Myth box, or something else. Though when transferring via SFTP from the same clients to the knoppmyth box over gigabit I get great speeds. > 18MB, so that may not be the issue. Is there any other known networking problems with A22? |
