I'm not sure which update did it, because I update often, but reboots are few and far between. Anyway, after doing a major reorganizing of file systems (I got some SCSI drives, and migrated from single IDE to RAIDED SCSI), I rebooted my server. My clients started getting this permission denied error. I thought I somehow screwed up permissions or trashed some file in moving file systems, but couldn't find anything. What I ended up having to do is manually mounting sunrpc and nfsd. This used to happen magically before, but something somewhere broke. This is what mount says: nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) I don't have my fstab here, but this should give you a hint. Also, at the time the problem showed up, I would get an error when booting the server relating to NFS4. Don't recall the message, but I think it mentioned the rpc_pipefs, which was a hint that took me to the mounts. > I am logged in as root on the box im working on, and im just not sure > where to begin trouble shooting this one > > Any insights would be appreciated > > TIM > > > Tim Holmes > > IT Manager / Webmaster > Medina Christian Academy > A Higher Standard... > > Jeremiah 33:3 > Jeremiah 29:11 > Esther 4:14
