HJ,
I built and installed knfsd-981010 and kernel 2.1.125 + nfs-related
patches. Initially, it seemed as if all was well, however there are
severe problems when mounting from an Alpha box. The mount will succeed,
but rpc.kmountd exits without fanfare (and without coredump nor log
messages) immediately after. From that point on, even after stopping and
restarting the knfs subsystem, anything that tickles kmountd (including
'showmount') causes to it to disappear immediately.
The only recovery seems to be by forcibly zeroing out the
/var/lib/nfs/xtab and rmtab files and restarting.
The problem is only occuring on a server which routes between two subnets,
if that is any help. I'd love to send log messages but, again, there are
none.
