Unexpected NFS Auto-unmount?

[dison4linux]

I'm also having the same problem with a Sabayon 11 64-bit install on an i3 desktop with a GbE wired connection. Could the "wicd" work-around work in my case too? If so could you provide a little guidance on setting that up. Does this issue only apply to DHCP? I'll try changing my IP to static in Network Manager and see if that helps.

Hi,

what you could do to start with is see if you are getting the same issue.

See if NFS unmounts unexpectidly first.

Here's a script I wrote to remount things as my first work around:

Code: Select all


#!/bin/sh
HOSTNM=`hostname`
DATE=$(date +"%d-%b-%y %H:%M")

df -k | grep <mount_point> | grep -v grep > /dev/null

if [ $? == 1 ]; then

touch /tmp/nfs.temp
echo '===ALERT===' >> /tmp/nfs.temp
echo '' >> /tmp/nfs.temp
echo 'Mount Points Offline!' $HOSTNM $DATE >> /tmp/nfs.temp
echo '' >> /tmp/nfs.temp
echo 'TRACE:' >> /tmp/nfs.temp
echo '' >> /tmp/nfs.temp
tail -n -15 /var/log/messages >> /tmp/nfs.temp
echo '' >> /tmp/nfs.temp
mount <mount_point_1>
mount <mount_point_2>
echo 'Filesystems Have Been Remounted:' >> /tmp/nfs.temp
echo '' >> /tmp/nfs.temp
df -h >> /tmp/nfs.temp
mail -s "$DATE ALERT" <email_address> < /tmp/nfs.temp

rm /tmp/nfs.temp

else echo > /dev/null

fi

This should give you the date and time of when the NFS session unmounted.

From there check your 'messages' log.... though the script prints it out automatically!!

Something like:

Code: Select all

tail -n -100 /var/log/messages


If you see a whole bunch of DHCP related stuff... "new lease" and so on then you know it IS the same issue.


First thing is to download wicd; being new to Sabayon myself I use:

Code: Select all

equo install wicd


Then disable NetworkManager and enable wicd:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/rc-config delete NetworkManager default;

/usr/bin/rc-config add wicd default


Reboot and things should be fine! You can manage 'wicd' using the GUI interface which should pop up in your apps menu or 'wicd-curses' from the cli.

Nb. you need to be root to run the commands above!!

Alternately I wrote a script to automate the process and do some other bits as well:

Code: Select all


#!/bin/bash
# Network Management script
clear
_COLUMNS=$(tput cols)
_LINES=$(tput lines)
 
# Set default message if $1 input not provided
_MESSAGE="${1:-Network Management Switcher}"
 
# Calculate x and y coordinates so that we can display $MESSAGE
# centered in the screen
#x=$(( $_LINES / 2 ))
y=$(( ( $_COLUMNS - ${#_MESSAGE} )  / 2 ))
 
# Clear the screen
tput clear
 
# set x and y position
#tput cup $x $y
tput cup 0 $y
 
# set reverse video mode
tput rev
 
# Alright display message stored in $_MESSAGE
echo "${_MESSAGE}"

# Start cleaning up our screen...
#tput clear
tput sgr0
#tput rc
