Hey guys...

So I installed Apollo NFS v4.1 on my OS 10.4. The installation and setup went well (I think...) and I am able to nfs mount the Apollo from both my Solaris boxes (Solaris 8 and 10) as well as with a Sparc running OpenBSD....No problems there - read/writes, and permission changes, etc all work fine... The problem lies when I try to go the other way and mount NFS shares on Solaris and OpenBSD from the Apollo. Here is the basic scenario:

Apollo: machine name: chicago
Sparc 20: machine name: berkeley

from the Apollo (set up a mount point /chicago)

mount -t nfs berkeley:/usr/chicago /chicago

...mount executes fine...

But when I try to write a file to the foreign nfs file system, eg "touch test" it just hangs...eventually an hour later or so, it completes. When I list the file with just 'ls' i can see the file but when i do an ls -al, it hangs again. I dont know whats going on...Perhaps it has do do with ACLs. Both machines have the same user account and unix ID that I am using to write to the share. However, I still need to check to see if the root unix IDs match... Anyone know what I might be missing? I seem to have exhausted my ideas... All the appropriate daemons are running...portmap, nfs, rpc.mountd, tcpd, etc...I set up the rc.nfs file to the defaults. It seems like an issue with the nfs client but the server is fine...

Any ideas I should check for?

My whole idea behind this exersize is to see if I can create an AA on a remote nfs mount point to solve the disk space shortage problem. :)

I read through the Apollo Archive...There is NFS info, but there is no information on mounting a foreign machine... Only mounting the Apollo's shares. :(

-Kurt
