><i> Hello Marc,
</I>>><i>
</I>>>><i> If you add the <host name>/<IP address> mapping using the
</I>>>><i> MCC/Network/<Host definitions> and don't modify by hand the fstab file,
</I>>>><i> does it work or not?
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i> Yes, I tried:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> IP address: 192.168.2.2
</I>>><i> Host name: MarcComputer
</I>>><i> Host Aliases: MarcComputer
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> The only problem with this is that when the router is re-set the IP
</I>>><i> addresses may change unless you have setup static IP addresses.
</I>><i> Using the IP address in fstab has the same limitation.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> When the NFS used to work, you did not have to go through these steps.
</I>>><i> The process would find the NFS servers and set up the shares and fstab
</I>>><i> by itself. It no longer does that and the average user would not know
</I>>><i> to set up host definitions etc.
</I>><i> My question was not to provide a workaround, but to help identify where
</I>><i> the problem is.
</I>
Sorry if it sounded like I was picking on your statements, it was not
intended to sound like this.
><i> It seems that you have a name resolution problem, not a NFS problem. If
</I>><i> I take the fstab file you use when starting that thread:
</I>
Yup, the NFS is rock solid once it is set in fstab correctly.
><i> - the setting of NFS shares uses "linux-5" as remote hostname (question
</I>><i> to an expert: how does the tool find this name?)
</I>><i> - but "linux-5" is not found as a remote host (question to Marc: is
</I>><i> "linux-5.local" found as a remote host, e.g. can you ping linux-5.local?)
</I>><i> If your remote host is named "linux-5", "linux-5.local" should work as
</I>><i> it should be published by the ZeroConf mechanism (avahi).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So if this works, the best workaround could be to use "linux-5.local" in
</I>><i> the fstab file as it does not depend on static IP addresses.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The fix would be that the setting of NFS shares uses ZeroConf hostnames.
</I>><i>
</I>>><i> Somehow, the setting up of NFS shares and fstab was broken in older
</I>>><i> versions of Mdv and never fixed.
</I>><i> It was probably broken when the ZeroConf mechanism was used, as the
</I>><i> hostnames got ".local" appended.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Regards.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Bernard
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>
Yes, all of this seems to make sense. Is there a way to test this or
should it be put to the bugzilla? Is this considered an easy fix?
Cheers,
Marc
