[FreeNAS] Local NSM refuses to monitor ...

D

deanac

On my console screen I have the following message:

Code: 
freenas rpc.statd: Invalid hostname on sm_mon:FrontOffice
freenas kernel: Local NSM refuses to monitor FrontOffice

FrontOffice is running Kubuntu 10.04LTS and is accessing FreeNAS 8.0.2 x32 via NFS. My NAS box has 2 mirrored 500MB HD's, AMD Duron processor, and 2 gig's of ram. I also have a Windows PC running XP and accessing the NAS with CIFS. I upgraded from 7 to 8.0 and as far as I know these error messages started with the update to 8.0

I can write to and read from the NAS from both computers and there does not appear to be any operational problems. Do I need to do something to correct this or can I ignore it?
 
Local NSM refuses to monitor ...

From your post I am not sure if I did something wrong. I get the impression that you think my problem should be posted on the FreeNAS forum. I appreciate your input. I believe this is an underlying network configuration problem and that is why I posted here. If you believe this to be a FreeNAS issue I wish you would simply say so. Otherwise, I appreciate all help in resolving this issue.
 
The first message is related to DNS or more specifically name resolving.

The second may be solved as per Thread 16474.

NB. FreeNAS may be based on FreeBSD but it is heavily modified. What works on FreeBSD may not work on FreeNAS. Which is why we're telling people to ask FreeNAS questions on the FreeNAS forums.
 
I reviewed host name conventions and couldn't find a conflict with my host name. I changed my host name to "frntoffc" and am still getting the same errors. I believe the host name error is a symptom and not a problem.

I reviewed http://forums.FreeBSD.org/showthread.php?t=16474. As best I can tell the solution there is to "...stop the statd and lockd daemons, blow away /var/db/statd.status and then restart statd/lockd." I have not done so because:
1. I don't know how.
2. I don't want to hose my NAS.
Is my analysis of the thread correct? If so what commands do I execute from a shell prompt?

TIA for your patience and help.
 
You can stop and start or restart service very easily:
They are located under the /etc/ directory - rpc.statd and rpc.lockd, so cd /etc then: rpc.statd stop or rpc.statd restart or rpc.statd start
Same for lockd.
Enjoy.

BTW, I have the same problem as you. I am trying to solve this problem with this solution. Will post updates.
