Hello,
My family room MD has been working for many more than a year, but tonight I rebooted the core and the MD just runs in a loop -
mount call failed: 13 ... Retrying nfs mount
until it drops into busybox. I tried rebooting several times and tried running:
# exportfs -ra
on the core/hybrid as suggested in an earlier post, but it did not work.
I searched the forum and wiki and found earlier mentions of similiar issues at:
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=5479.0 and
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2902.0
Looks like others have had similiar issues, but I haven't found a resolution.
A brute force solution may be to delete the md from the core and redo, but I'd like to hear other ideas first.
much thanks,
joseph
I had same problem the other night.
A complete power down of core seemed to fix it.
Not just reboot
HTH

Tim,
Thank you very much for the quick reply. I'll try it.

no joy - and it's now after 3AM, so I think I'll call it a night.
Maybe I'll try leaving it off for a while so the electrons can rest up a bit...
thanks again for the quick response!

Further checking - all of my MDs now suffer the same fate.
So, something got messed up on the core somewhere.
thoughts welcome,
joseph
OK,
I deleted a Vmware MD from the webgui and then in the webgui MD page, I clicked the
"Setup New Diskless MD*" button.
Part of that setup re-exports directories for NFS kernel daemon...
Then I started the new vm-md, it announced and then began setting up.
And then I turned on the family room MD - and it worked!
The VM MD finished and works as well.
hope this helps someone - probably I did not actually have to delete the MD.
I suspect that clicking the "Setup New Diskless MD*" button on the MD page in the webgui would have done it.
I have marked this as a "SOLUTION" rather than "SOLVED" because I still do not have a root cause of this unhappiness.
