being beat by nfs

Been fighting a long series of problems with a Rocks cluster. It’s come down to a serial device that locked up every single node, and now a NFS issue that appears to be not allowing nodes to boot.

It’s been awhile since I’ve dealt with NFS, but it seems odd that commenting out an entry in /etc/exports will allow the nodes to boot perfectly fine. If the entry is left uncommented, the node will completely lock up on startup.

There’s now a gigantic list of work to do, and no end in sight. Every time I clean out my inbox, and get items added to my todo list, there’s another half-dozen items needing attention. I’m learning a bit, but it’s all surface type of information. There’s no time to dig into anything. I started making some progress on my network monitor app, but that had to be put aside. I need to make the time to get back to that soon.
