wapipl -> NFS connection to AIX (Oct. 5, '06, 5:31:45 AM)

Hi.

I use SFU 3.5 on Windows 2003 Server SP1. I installed latest fixes for SFU and NFS subsystem. fileinfo shows:
/dev/fs/C/WINDOWS/system32/PSXSS.EXE 8.0.1969.45
/dev/fs/C/WINDOWS/system32/PSXDLL.DLL 8.0.1969.45
/dev/fs/C/WINDOWS/system32/POSIX.EXE 8.0.1969.45
/dev/fs/C/WINDOWS/system32/PSXRUN.EXE 8.0.1969.45
/dev/fs/C/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/PSXDRV.SYS 8.0.1969.1

I would like to connect from Windows Server to AIX 5.3 ML04SP01.
I mount NFS successfully:
$ mount polc001:/vol/sr03/MP/maq T:
T: is now successfully connected to polc001:/vol/sr03/MP/maq

The command completed successfully.
$ mount

Local Remote Properties
----------------------------------------------------------------
T: \\polc001\vol\sr03\MP\maq UID=500, GID=500
rsize=32768, wsize=32768
mount=soft, timeout=0.8
retry=1, locking=yes
fileaccess=755, lang=ANSI
casesensitive=no

ls command work fine:
$ cd /dev/fs/T
$ ls
GNUUTILS.zip expscr

But if I issue "touch ttt" (in order to show debug info in coniunction with truss):

$ truss touch ttt
tracing pid 1039
getdata() getdata returned 0
getrlimit() getrlimit returned 0
pthread_inform_signals() pthread_inform_signals returned 0
open("/usr/share/locale//_ASCII", 0x1) open returned 4
read(4, 0x824110, 131072) read returned 131072 0x20000
close(4) close returned 0
open("/usr/share/locale//ASCII_", 0x1) open returned 4
read(4, 0x844118, 512) read returned 512 0x200
read(4, 0x844320, 131072) read returned 0
close(4) close returned 0
stat("ttt", 0x00BA0720) stat failed: errno 2, No such file or directory

open("ttt", 0x102, 0666)

On NFS Server file ttt has been created but NFS Client hung... I have to restart Windows Server - restarting NFS Client service failed.
Have you any suggestion?

Regards
Waldemar

By "NFS Client hung" you mean that no other request is serviced, right?
So you can't go to another shell window and do an ls on that mount.

I'd contact Microsoft Support (aka PSS).
You have the latest hotfixes; it's not a user problem; it's not a utility problem.
The truss o/p looks reasonable.

If anyone else has a comment/suggestion, by all means give it [8|]
Let us know what happens. I'm sure there are others interested.

Yes. Other requests through this mount also hung. I can't interrupt this, I can't kill this command, even I can't stop service NFS Client - one and only one solution is to reboot...
