Jon,
Thanks for a reply. Doing a Google search for the problem caused your name
to pop up, but that was it as far as related items were concerned. I was
hoping it was a problem that had been fixed since then, but apparently
not. All updates seem to be to the 2.6 tree, with the 2.4 tree basically
in a state of neglect as far as SGI is concerned.
As far as solving the problem, I *tried* to upgrade the 2.4 system to a
2.6 kernel, but that didn't go as planned, with the system going failing
sometime during reboot, and causing file system problems. Since I was
stupid and did this on a system that is 600 miles away physically, it'll
be that way until I go home next time. (The server was actually the main
file server at my house, and being a college student, it's hard to take a
1200 mile roundtrip in a weekend. :-)) I do appreciate the reply: it's
good to know someone else is running into the same problems.

I have 2 servers setup, one is strictly a file server with a 100 GB drive

fine on the "client" (really, the server that does most of the work, which
is running the 2.6.15.1 kernel), but there are major issues with the XFS
partition. It seems to export fine, and I can run an ls at the top of the
NFS mount, but nothing else works, and I mean nothing else. What follows is
the output of the mount, pwd, and ls commands on the client:
I didn't see any reply to this, but just wanted to let you know I ran into
exactly the same problem (and posted here about it) not too long ago (couple
months?). Has anyone figured this out yet?
