- I have just started using amd in preference to Sun's automounter and have
- run into a problem with the lock daemon. We use amd's Network host filesystem
- (i.e. equivalent of -hosts provided with the automounter). The network
- is organised such that '/net/host' leads to the root directory on machine
- 'host'.
-
- This seems to work fine, but on one machine (a 670 running SunOS 4.1.2) the
- lock daemon complains frequently:
-
- The machine name is hq. When a process on hq tries to lock a file on the
- same machine (e.g. /net/hq/etc/file), the message
-
- rpc.lockd: monitor entry not found for "hq" , request is not monitored.
-
- comes up repeatedly on the console. If the full path is not used
- (e.g. /etc/file) this doesn't happen. It looks as if this is caused by
- the way amd mounts the filesystems. The line below is printed by 'mount' and
- looks suspicious.
-
- hq:(pid116) on /net type auto (intr,rw,port=1023,timeo=8,retrans=110,indirect)
-
- Our amd map is almost identical to the example in the manual:
-
- /defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root;rhost:=${key}
- * opts:=rw,grpid
-
- This does NOT happen on our other machines (running SunOS 4.1.1). Any ideas?
