NFS Locking issues with FreeBSD

[jmo]

Dear Jen,

I would like to look at the logs. Please send it and in the text body copy the description of the issue so we can keep tracking and everybody see the whole picture.

SJ,

after we "forced an unexpected reboot" (UPS broke down) this night and had the system power up from nil, NFS locking works . I do believe we had reboots after changing the settings (and locking didn't work), but no power-offs.

Regards,

Jens

@jmo: I have the exact same problem... only in reverse.

When upgrading to OS X 10.5 (from 10.4) we got problems with locking. At first I thought this was a OS X issue, but after upgrading the DSS to 5.0 DB47 build 3216 all of a sudden it worked.

Yesterday I had to take the system down completely to change a 10GbE cable and when it came up again the locking issue was back.

I'll try to do a proper cold-start as soon as I can to see if I can restore the lock-functionality again.

It is a bit scary if the locking feature is random depending on your luck since we have the home directory of both mac's and a bunch of linux workstations mounted from the dss.

I restarted the server twice this morning, but unfortunately it didn't help.

Have mailed my logs to support so we'll see what they find out.

Dear all,

we have the same problems on or SOLARIS mounted DSS. As there are some users already waiting to go back to work, I would like to ask: Do you already know when an update will be available ?

Best regards.

@Koroljow:
As I understood it they are working on a fix, but they can't promise when it will be ready. We too have several systems, both servers and workstations, that we can't use because of this issue and if it's not fixed soon we have to consider some other distro instead of DSS.
