ORIGINAL POSTING:
Hello,
I am trying to launch extra nfsd daemons on a Sun 690MP under 4.1.1, with
no success. It was my understanding that you could start nfsd daemons in
multiuser mode by just typing as root: /usr/etc/nfsd 8 & . I do that
but they start and exit gracefully. I have tried this on Soulbourne, and
Auspex with the same results. Probably and must likely *I am* doing something
wrong. Can someone tell what am I doing wrong ?
GURUS' RESPONSES:
- Kill existing nfsd and restart them with /usr/etc/nfsd <#> &
Unfortunally I can't implement this right away, since I will
have to wait for next crash or shutdown :(
- Vi /etc/rc.local and change 'nfsd 8 &' to 'nfsd 32 &'.
This is done, and just waiting for next shutdown or crash ;)
- Start nfsd from the bourne shell.
I tried it, but items above must be done first.
- Do you have anything in /etc/exports ?? or have you run exportfs ??
Yes this is an existing nfs server.
- Use a larger number, the number you use indicates how many nfsd's
you can have running simultaneous.
I tried it, no luck.
- I`m not shure,you may want to start the same number of "biod" as well.
I tried this, no luck.
- Once the nfsd processes are started, you can't add more. the nfsd
process actually forks N copies of itself, and once that initial
process is going you can't re-enter the same system call that starts
more (in sunos 4.1.x).
This one confirms everything above.
--Thanks!
