OK, i will try it, if i can.... (this is a productive online system, maybe next reboot)
There is some additional info:
[root@dy-xeon-1 root]# mount 192.168.0.1://NFS/ROOT-BASE/ on / type nfs (rw,hard,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=5,retrans=0,actimeo=1) none on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) 192.168.2.100://DY_SYSTEM on /mnt/DY_SYSTEM type nfs (rw,hard,rsize=16384,wsize=8192,timeo=5,retrans=0,actimeo=1,addr=192.168.2.1 00) 192.168.2.100://MAIL_STORE on /mnt/mail_store type nfs (rw,hard,rsize=16384,wsize=8192,timeo=5,retrans=0,actimeo=1,noac,addr=192.16 8.2.100) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /sys type sysfs (rw) none on /dev/cpuset type cpuset (rw) /dev/md10 on /mnt/md10 type xfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,dirsync,_netdev,noatime,osyncisdsync,noalign) /dev/md31 on /mnt/md0 type xfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,dirsync,_netdev,noatime,osyncisdsync,noalign)
The etc is on / (the first line.)
After i change the kernel from 2.6.14.2 to 2.6.15-rc3, my system starts to send error messages about user-existing. First i starts to search the problem, and finally tracked down to kernel. (I try to reboot with 15-rc3 and run adduser BEFORE all other service or script, and the issue is the same. Than i reboot back to 2.6.14.2, and the error message is gone!)
The adduser sends messages "unable to lock password file", and sometime -usually first exec- "unable to lock shadow file".
If i know correctly, the nfsroot is only works with NFS v2. Do you have try it with NFS or exactly on NFSROOT?
On the next reboot, i will try strace....
Cheers,
Janos
