SUMMARY: Problems with nfs mounting cdroms

[Hani.Jabr@coutts.com]

Apologies for the delay is posting the solution, I stumbled across a
post-it note reminding me to do so...

The  solution  was to upgrade the kernel to the latest version at the time,
which  was  2.4.16.  I don't know if the problem was with the kernel on all
hardware, or just on my combination of hardware, but it works now.

Thanks to all those people who emailed me with suggestions.


The original posting was:

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
