I'm having some strange problems with nfs and 2.2.0. Here's the situation:
I have an nfs server, it's actually running 2.2.0-pre5. Reason that machine isn't up to date with 2.2.0 is raid dependencies. Patches for the latest raid aren't available for 2.2.0 last time I checked. I suspect this could be the problem with nfs overall, but from the change descriptions on linuxhq.com, it looked as if nfs didn't have any major changes from pre5.
Problem:
I have home:/usr/webservers mounted on web6:/usr/webservers.
I'm using frontpage server extension on the web server, web6, which is in /usr/local/frontpage on the local filesystem. When using the frontpage server admin, it errors saying it is unable to open /use/webserver/https-web6/conf/httpd.conf, which is on the nfs volume.
If I copy that particular file to the local file system, it works fine. Also, when I do use that method, it then fails writing to the user's home directory, which is also on an nfs volume.
I'm not sure if there's options to nfs or whatnot that I'm missing, but this definitely was a 2.2.0 occurrence since I've been using this same scheme on 2.0.x for quite some time now.
Also, which nfs implementation should I be using. I've seen three now. knfsd from yggdrassil(sp), linux-nfs, and the usual nfs-server.
Right now I'm just using the regular nfs-server 2.2beta40. As I understand, this is still user space nfs, and isn't have fast as knfsd, kernel space nfs.
thanks for help, suggestions, etc.
If you need additional info, please ask. Also if possible, cc my address on replies. I'm not on the linux-kernel list.
