System: NetBSD topaz.nemeton.com.au 1.0A NetBSD 1.0A (TOPAZ) #10: Sun Sep 24 16:55:33 EST 1995 giles@topaz.nemeton.com.au:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/TOPAZ i386
>Description:
There is a problem mounting a remote NFS filesystem on a
mount point that appears in /etc/exports on the client
system.
>How-To-Repeat:
Server: NetBSD-1.0/i386 'topaz'
Client: NetBSD-current/i386 'nemeton'
The client machine also exports filesystems:
$ cat /etc/exports
/usr
/mnt
Note that there is no filesystem on /mnt:
$ mount
/dev/wd0a on / type ufs (NFS exported, local)
/dev/wd0e on /usr type ufs (NFS exported, local)
kernfs on /kern type kernfs (local)
mfs:16 on /tmp type mfs (asynchronous, local)
Now, dump the box:
# mount nemeton:/home /mnt
>Fix:
First catch your dump. I have dumps from kernels built
with and without -g, but don't get a backtrace. I'll
build a kernel with DDB and try to get more information.
(The client machine is crash and burn -- if anyone wants
more information just ask and I'll crash it again. :-)
