Hi there,
I encountered (and bypassed) several problems with 1.3.2:
- Mounting machine 1's volumes on machine 2 and vice versa in the same
time will not work out-of-the-box. But we will need this at our site.
Solution: Replace the
mount -a
before the start of the nfs server with a
mount -a -t nonfs
and place a
mount -a -t nfs
after the start of the nfs server.
As far I know, this should make no probs in configurations I can think
of.
- With starting X:
There is not sufficient info in /usr/X11R6/bin/README.pmax to get the
X server talking to xfs when being started from xdm. Even the path to
the Xservers file is in the old style. Shall I write a new one?
- The X server cannot talk to xfs and hangs. I solved this by inserting
a sleep 5 between starting xfs and xdm directly in /etc/rc. This now
seems to work.
i don't know if this is wheather-proof, and it surely doesn't solve
the real problem.
Greetings,
Reinhold Huber
