528.0. "information from the customer" by RHETT::AMAN () Wed Jun 04 1997 01:10

    From the customer -
    
    Now, we'd like to get on with our nfs timeout problems. Here is an 
    line of our configuration.
    
    Our MLS+ configuration:
    dumbo (16.20.40.109)
            alpha 3000-900
            nis master server (there is no slave server.)
            fddi interface to gigaswtich via DECconcentrator
            nfs client only
    bashful (16.20.40.111)
            alpha 3000-900
            fddi interface to gigaswtich via DECconcentrator
            nfs server
            serving the following disks:
                    /dev/rz50c      /ace1   
                    /dev/rz52c      /ace4   
                    /dev/rz29c      /ace5   
                    /dev/rz61c      /ace6   
                    /dev/rz45c      /audit1
            bashful also exports 
    		   /usr/local
    kumba (16.20.40.107)
            alpha 3000-900
            fddi interface to gigaswtich via DECconcentrator
            nfs server
            serving the following disks:
                    /dev/rz25c      /ace2  
                    /dev/rz29c      /ace3 
                    /dev/rz57c      /ace7 
                    /dev/rz52c      /ace8

            nfs client only
    goofy, thumper (16.20.40.104), (16.20.40.101)
            alpha 3000-700
            fddi interface to gigaswtich via DECconcentrator
            nfs client only
    flower, pocohantas, flounder, pinnochio, sebastian
            alpha 3000-300
            thin wire interface to  gigaswtich via DECrepeater
            nfs client only
    
    We also have 23 lat ports serving rs232 type lines. Only about
    6 of these have dumb terminal currently attached.
    
    ----------------
    We have two nfs servers (bashful and kumba). the below is a copy of
    their fstab and export files.
    
    ---------------  bashful fstab
    /dev/rz16a      /       ufs rw 1 1
    /dev/rz18a      /usr    ufs rw 1 2

    --------
    
    
    The rest of the hosts have fstab and export files similar to the
    following:
    
    ---------------- typical fstab
    /dev/rz16a      /       ufs rw 1 1
    /dev/rz18g      /usr    ufs rw 1 2
    /dev/rz16b      swap1   ufs sw 0 2

    /audit@kumba    /audit nfs rw,bg,hard 0 0
    /sey@kumba      /sey nfs rw,bg,hard 0 0
    
    -------------- typical fstab is empty
    
    These are the yp passwd and group files from dumbo (nis server):
    (I have the real copies of these files if you need them.  The passwd
    file has 178 accounts. The group file has 75 groups.  janet)
    
    and finally a copy of typical local passwd and group files:
    (I have these files as well.  The local passwd file has 24 entries.  He
    may have mistakenly sent the same group file twice.  The one he sent as
    the yp is identical to the local one.  janet)
    
    You asked about syslog.dated files. Heres the only one I found from
    yesterday with any pertinent information:
    ---------------

    ------------------
    
    Janet, I realize the difficulty in determining these type of problems
    remotely. Fortunately we are not in a production environment and any
    trap and/or debug code we can and will put in. So let us know what we can
    do.
    
                                                    sam

    Please let me know if you need additional information.
    
    Thanks!
