NFS - Worked, rebooted, stopped working (umount prob?)

English Network/Internet

I had just installed 11.1 beta 5 and was happy that my wireless finally worked, so I set up my nfs shares and they worked fine.

However I rebooted, as it was busy shutting down I noticed some line about umount being unable to do what it wanted to do. I’ve no idea what though as I can’t read -that- fast.

Next time it’s booted up, my nfs mounts stopped working. I tried deleting them using Yast > network settings > nfs client. Then I rechecked fstab to make sure they were really gone… they were.
Then deleted the folders they were mounted to. (then did a mount -a as root)
Went to Yast > Networking Settings > NFS Client again and re-added the nfs shares (it’s still finding them fine). Clicked next/finish… navigated to the mountpoint… and it shows an empty folder :sarcastic:

So my questions…

  1. Where is the log with the umount error so I can post it? (Didn’t find much in /var/log, overlooked it?)
  2. How do I fix it?
    *]Could this be caused cause I mounted something inside another mountpoint?

Make that 2 questions, I just did the same thing on my desktop, running beta 5 as well, and it works fine… rebooted and it kept working fine so question 3 is answered.
Anyone else up for the other 2 ? :slight_smile:

doh… that makes for 3 posts in a own, oh well.

Some more information:
I now successfully mounted a NFS share to /home/Pascal/Try, however I still seem to be unable to mount it to my intended “folder” names. It does however make my laptop usable again as I can access my files normally.

Okay one reboot later and I need to remount it to a folder different than the one I wanted, and different from /home/Pascal/Try in order to get it working.

Awfully strange behaviour… I don’t want to mount the disks everytime I start up and make up new names for them.
Removing the old folders that served as a mountpoint gets boring to… any way to completely reset it and hopefully get it working besides a format/reinstall?
