I have a one system that is FC3. I am having trouble keeping its partitions mounted on a couple of other FC2 systems. The partitions from the FC3 system are mounted for several days on the FC2 systems. Then they appear as FC3system:/mount1 - - - - /mountpoint The FC2 systems report in messages : "RPC: error 5 connecting to server FC3" . I can unmount the FC3 partitions on the FC2 systems, but I cannot remount them afterwards. mount to NFS server "FC3system" failed: server is down. This occurs after I have used service nfs restart exportfs -a on the FC3 server to make sure it is awake. On the FC3 server side, I am getting the errors in /var/log/messages conrd(pam-unix)[23946]: session closed for user root twice every ten minutes. Is Fedora 3 a bad system? Or is there a fix to the problem above. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Hi Margaret Doll! Googling "RPC: error 5 connecting to server" yeilds much about Kernel updates. It may be worth updateing your Kernels, or, perhaps it is time to go to FC5 throughout - fresh install. I would check memory on the machines. I would check swap integrity and use. I would monitor the network for hardware error or being swamped. Virus? Bot? Ok, I am reduced to shooting in the dark. I do wish you Good Hunting! Tod
