I was trying to move my /sbbs/fido directory to an nfs share. sbbsecho does not seem to like this at all.

I have a share, mounted as /sbbs/z. The bbs user has access to read, create, and delete files, and create and remove directories on this share (I verified this while having the issue).

I copied everything out of /sbbs/fido into /sbbs/z/fido, and I changed my sbbsecho.ini settings as follows:

inbound = /sbbs/fido/in/
SecureInbound = /sbbs/fido/inbound/
outbound = /sbbs/fido/out/

to:

inbound = /sbbs/z/fido/in/
SecureInbound = /sbbs/z/fido/inbound/
outbound = /sbbs/z/fido/out/

I then removed /sbbs/fido and created a symlink, 'fido' in /sbbs that pointed to /sbbs/z/fido, just in case I forgot to change something.

Both sbbsecho and binkit choked on this with ERROR 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) messages. I tried changing the sbbsecho.ini back to :

inbound = /sbbs/fido/in/
SecureInbound = /sbbs/fido/inbound/
outbound = /sbbs/fido/out/

so that it would use the symlink. I tried sbbsecho again and it still barfed with the ERROR 11 messages.

I tried this with synchronet not running just to make sure I was not getting any contention errors. I ran sbbsecho on a freshly booted machine, with only the environment set (as below) and no other instances of synchronet or sbbsecho running.

export HOME=/sbbs
export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
export SBBSNODE=/sbbs/node1

This did not fix the issue. I finally put everything back the way it was and sbbsecho is happy now.

Is there some reason that sbbsecho only likes working with /sbbs/fido and only if it is not a symlink to elsewhere. or does not like nfs shares? I googled the ERROR 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) message and the links that came up were all from developers who were asking questions on forums about fixing their code so that the messages would go away. I was not able to find anything that indicated how an enduser could make it go away.

Thanks.

i cannot help with your problem but sbbsecho is not limited to using sbbs/fido... i changed mine to sbbs/ftn several months ago with i started working with 5D BSO... it is working fine once i figured out that sbbsecho will tack on the hex zone number to all outbound directories that are not the root outbound directory... it works fine and even binkd has no problems once we tell it a little white lie in each network's outbound directory definition :)

they can be any format... the OS and drivers hide all of that from the programs using them...

I've never had issues with the outbound. Mine lives under /sbbs/binkd. And what little white lie did you tell binkd? ;) I run 5D BSO on my sbbsecho/binkd setup as well.

At a (wild) guess, it might have something to do with file locking. But when DM responds, naturally, he'd probably have a good reason.

(I remember in the past haveing issues with file locking over NFS - long time ago - cant remember if I resolved it - nfslockd comes to mind...)

i went with sbbs/ftn because it covers all fidonet technology networks... it just seems to fit better than calling everything "fidonet"...

And what little white lie did you tell binkd? ;)

that the base zone for each of the nets is 1 for all of them instead of their actual zone number like true 5D BSO is normally set up with...

I run 5D BSO on my sbbsecho/binkd setup as well.

cool :) are you using my othernets list, too?

I went with /sbbs/binkd, based on past tradition, but could have put it anywhere. :)

Oh, I did that too. Mystic also behaves in the same way.

No, I should. Hvae to find it again (I'm sure you mentioned it a while back).

Honestly, I think it is the nfs it does not like but I am not sure why. In past, I have occassionally run across software that does not like it.
OTOH, my 'dirs' directory is on another nfs share and it has no issues with
it.

He actually has not responded as yet.

I went looking for a package called nfslockd but did not find it in the debian respositories. there is a lockd that is included as a part of one of the nfs packages, though. I think that it, and statd, should be running on my server or I would be having many more issues than just with sbbsecho. I am going to investigate it some, though.
