RE: [Evolution] NFS Mounted at Home Partial Fix!

["Corvette Hunt" <corvettehunt yahoo com>]

Thank you for your input, however, it didn't solved the problem... I changed
the entries to soft, and used the other options you mentioned, but it
remained doing the same. 

I've actually narrowed it down to apparently when I force-reload the
nfslock, I need it to create the lock in
/home/whatever/.gconf/lock/%something(refers to a lock file)

I'm not at the office right now, so I don't have the exact path with me. 

If there's already a file there, and I can't connect evo properly, I need to
manually delete the file there, force-reload the nfslock and then it works
ok. (90% of the time)

I'll try using Yellowpages as you've suggested on a test system. Guess I'll
have to google'd the instructions for it, since I've never actually used
that particular program.

Thanks again,

Corvette Hunt

Any particular reason, why you are exporting and mounting every single
home directory on its own?

You are not mounting 'soft', AFAIK that can cause problems in soem
situations. That's what I used:

[server] /etc/exports
/home           192.168.0.0/24(rw)

[client] /etc/fstab
server:/home /home nfs soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid 0 0

To simplify administration and completely avoid false UIDs, I really
suggest YellowPages...

Yep, but now the error is even more strange. I never had problems with
NFS mounted homes and Evolution.

Seems like bad NFS options set or issues with the distri.


Sorry, not sure about your problems. Maybe try some other NFS options,
likely 'soft'. HTH
