Re: Help in setting up sfs server

Thank you for your reply. I seem to fix the problem by NFS mount only
the root (and not the subdir). My showmount shows this:
[root@frontend-0 sbin]# showmount -e
Export list for frontend-0:
/export         129.116.206.112/255.255.255.248
/usr/local/lsf  129.116.206.112/255.255.255.248
/export/home    129.116.206.112/255.255.255.248,129.116.206.92
/tmp/CHORD/root frontend-0  <---CHORD/root IS MOUNTED

After I set this up, One BIG question arise. is sfs-0.7.2 compatible with
nfs3 ? It is because I have this error:

rexd: spawning /tmp/CHORD/sfs-build/lib/sfs-0.7.2/ptyd
sfsauthd: serving
@frontend-0.tacc.utexas.edu,tx7ax73sy82ndq26zkytpjyuktsrf86p
sfsrwsd: fatal: filesrv::finish: nfs3_transres encode failed (err 10001)
sfssd: EOF from server

If it is compatible, what is the necessary step to resolve it? The way I
restarted the nfs is by (the system is RH 7.2 NPACI Rocks)
root> service portmap stop
root> service nfs stop
root> service portmap start
root> service nfs start

Need your enlightment,
