dmzeplin Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Hey... I keep trying to find a clue, but guess I might have overlooked for some reasons... When I montior on shut down, and can see two ways Ok and or Failed. Most of them are OK except with one with Failed... The failed is from "Stopping NFS Locking"... Do you have any idea how can I fix it?? Also, I am not sure what information you need to help me with solving the problem.... SInce I am not sure what NFS is?? Thanks!

daniewicz Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 NFS is the Network File Sytem. It allows a computer to access files over a network as easily as if they were on its local disks. Are you on a network? If you are not on a network, try disabling the service netfs (this is what NFS is called on Mandriva 2005) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmzeplin Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 thanks daniewicz... Ok, I have three computers and a videophone which mean I am using DLink DI-608 router.... I am not sure if you would called that? When I play around and found something interested for me... when I went on "File Sharing under Network in the "Configure Your Desktop".... So, how can I disable it? I am not sure Here is the picture... FYI I am using Madriva 2006... Also, if I disable NFS, will it be possible to use sharing printer for my wife and kids in one printer... Is that possible to set up with NFS's system?? This computer is "master" controlled by router... I don't know what I am suppose to be called this... But the technician from videophone told me that a computer need to be stay in a master controller to control the configure for all (router)..

ianw1974 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 NFS will be fine to disable. I usually do: urpme nfs-utils-clients and that will sort the problem out. It's caused by a service called nfs-lock from what I remember. netfs will remain as a service as it's a part of the initscripts. It does need to be enabled though, to allow access to the nfs stuff, but you can easily disable this too. It won't affect printing. NFS is only for sharing file systems between Linux systems. For Windows and Linux, you can use samba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
