Ok, so I've got 3 days to figure this one out before my WAF goes to the tubes.<br><br>Been using Myth for a few years now. A year or two ago I came across mythbuntu and was pretty impressed so I installed 8.04. Last week, due to wanting some better tools, and a successful upgrade of my ubuntu desktop at work, I decided to upgrade to mythbuntu 9.04 Jaunty.<br>
<br>Did a double network upgrade (8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04). The upgrade got hung up in the 8.10 ->9.04 side with some symbolic links to NFS shares and didn't install correctly. Removing and adding a few packages (basically a readd of the mythbuntu consolidated package) fixed the issue and has the machine up and running.<br>
<br>Now, however, i'm facing a rather large issue. I have all of my video shares (other than a small 250GB drive in the Myth Box that gets the initial recording) on NFS Shares shared from my NAS Box. At this point,it seems that periodically (at MOST every 24 hours but I'm guessing it's only taking a few hours) my Myth box looses NFS connectivity, to the point where it cannot see any of my NFS shares anymore. At this point the mythfrontend goes into a "hung up" state when attempting to access the recording or video section (the stuff on the nas is symbolic linked through NFS to LOOK like files on the local system. Yes, I know this is so Myth 0.19 and there's other ways to do this now).<br>
<br>The root cause seems to be myth being unable to read from NFS. I can unmount but not remount the NFS shares. Restarting NFS-COMMON doesn't seem to help.<br><br>I CANNOT have this box having to be rebooted every few hours to make it useful. Anyone have any ideas what the heck is going on? Rebooting the myth box brings the NFS shares back with no problems at all. Last night I restarted the NAS box and did a remount of everything and all was in good shape...so it seems I can "fix" it from either end.<br>
<br>I can tell it's not the NAS system, because I have some of the same shares mounted on other boxes and no other box other than the Myth box has issues with the shares (i.e. When the myth box can't access them the rest of the boxes can.)<br>
<br>All of the exports on the NAS use the same export type (pretty basic):<br><br>/mnt/video3 <a href="http://192.168.100.0/24(rw,async)">192.168.100.0/24(rw,async)</a><br><br>And are being mounted as follows:<br><br>nas:/mnt/video3 /mnt/video3 nfs intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,async,nfsvers=3,bg,actimeo=0,tcp<br>
<br>HELP? Any ideas? Would dropping a mythbuntu 9.04 DVD in the drive and doing an "upgrade" (is this possible without blowing away settings?) to replace all the system packages with what they should be help? Can I do a non-destructive "something's broken, fix it" installation? Any particular packages I can remove-reinstall to see about fixing this?<br>
<br>Is there a better way to mount these shares or is there a known bug with NFS?<br><br>--Doug<br>
