"/usr/bin/ls: reading directory .: Input/output error"

Hey, ive got this wierd problem, running Kernelversion 2.6.7 on Slackware 10.0

i get "/usr/bin/ls: reading directory .: Input/output error"
when im trying "ls" on the share.

Please help me

Oh, and im using a NFS share. Tried to reboot the NFS-server and remounting and such. Works on all the other machines using this server.

I have no problem with mount nfs share point with a fstab line as :

10.0.0.10:/shared /mnt/net nfs rw,sync,noauto,user,rsize=8192,timeo=14,wsize=8192,intr 0 0

It may be a permission problem also

Im gonna try that since it works fine on all other computers linked to the NFS server.

Fuck, no error anymore. The SSH just hangs instead, fucking shit

Cedrik · 08-24-2004, 01:06 PM

If ssh hang it may be a netfilter problem ? Or are you sure that sshd is running in the server ?

DiZi · 08-24-2004, 01:10 PM

Sorry, what i meant was that the whole "ls" hung up when i tried...

Cedrik · 08-24-2004, 01:15 PM

I don't get it, you talk about nfs share and now ssh... Could you post your entire commands session that leads you to this error ?

DiZi · 08-24-2004, 01:23 PM

The problem is, i cant list files in my NFS share. Your former help didn't work either.

The client, my machine, is behind a NAT, with port 111 open on both TCP and UDP. There are other clients who's also behind NAT's on the same NFS server, thoose without a problem like mine. Portmap is ofcourse also running.

Any ideas?

try open udp 2049 and tcp 2049 in your machine

Still no result... Same error....

root@FiKUS:/glftpd/ftp-data/users.ext# ls
/usr/bin/ls: reading directory .: Input/output error

did you try to ls as simple user (not root) ?

and does the output of... :
mount
...confirm that the share is mounted ?
Also the command :
df
...works properly (it does not hang ?)

ls doesn't work as another user than root either.

Mount shows the mount

df works and it doesn't hang up. :\

And the thing is, ive got two mounts from the same NFS-server, one of these two works fine to list, but the other doesn't, as you've seen. Bigger file maybe?!

I assume that you have not weird mount point for your share like one as /mnt/net and the other as /mnt/net/other

does 'showmount -e <nfs server>' shows the exports from the server ?

No wierd points no.

Yes it shows the other exports !
