Some  kindly  soul  wrote  me  with  a  potential fix, but unfortunately it
doesn't work.

I  am  mounting  the  cdrom before sharing it out to the network.  I am not
exporting /media/cdrom, then inserting the cd and mounting it.

It  helps  to know that a regular nfs share works fine - it doesn't come up
with the errors "No such file or directory."


Thanks,

Hani

Hi.   I  have  a  problem  I've  never seen before on a Dell Optiplex GX150
running Suse Linux 7.3.

The kernel version is 2.4.10.


When  I share out a cdrom drive to any other box, be it Sun or Linux, I get
repeated errors of the form:

./disks:
./disks: No such file or directory
total 10047

./docu:
./docu: No such file or directory
total 10047

Or if I cd into disks and do an ls -la:
.: No such file or directory.
total 0

Now, I can see and read those directories from my local box, and the
directories definately have files and subdirectories in them.  It happens
for all cdroms I mount,
and I can read some of the data, i.e. the earlier directories, but not the
later ones.  I can't understand it.  I've tried mountint using NFS version
2 but it doesn't help -
still get the same problem.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hani
