Hi Angelo

Yes, it?s the one without the touch screen. It suddenly refused to charge
and wife got another.

How dead? Can?t say. It?s certainly not breathing and the little charging
light doesn?t glow. I suspect that a contact/track is buggered, but have
not looked. Not that I?d /really/ know why to look for apart from the
blindingly obvious.

?Want to give it a try??

I?m not far, at 58 Cairns Road Westbury Park, just off Coldharbour Road,
and retired and try to do my bike-based commuting during the day. Can I
just deliver it? If no one?s home during the day I could post it as a
large letter for ?2.34 (signed for? not much use if it can?t be received!)

Subject: [bristol] NAS with NFS
Message-ID: <534B8DD4.90709@savigear.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi,

I dropped my backup NAS last night and broke it apparently pretty
effectively. That was an Iomega unit and I had to muck about for ages
updating the kernel etc. to get it to publish NFS when I got it.

Can anyone recommend a cheapish NAS to replace it which will do proper
NFS out of the box? So far research suggests the WD units support NFS
but only for one target (useless!) and the Buffalo ones may work but I
can only find they support the protocol.

This is to back up a separate Synology device but even the one-drive
Synology items are somewhat pricey for my purposes.

Thanks,

Matt.

There's your problem. You should be using vi. *duck*

Which version of NFS are you using? If you're using v3 then is lockd
running on the NFS server? Some file locking won't work over NFS3 unless
it is.

Have you tried running movemail through strace to see if it really is
hanging on the locks?

Shane.
