firewire_sbp2: sbp2_scsi_abort, external firewire hdd, nfs related

[r5gordini]

Hi All,

I'm trying to export an external HDD as an NFS share. The hdd works fine locally and when shared through Samba.

However, when I add an NFS share, things grind to a halt. Doing ls on a directory hangs, and copying files sporadically fails.

I get the following messages (repeated, corresponding with these problems) in /var/log/messages:

Sep 30 08:40:27 lisa3 kernel: firewire_sbp2: status write for unknown orb
Sep 30 08:41:27 lisa3 kernel: firewire_sbp2: sbp2_scsi_abort

I'm using FC7, kernel 2.6.22.9-91.fc7, and the latest (std, pre-built) version of NFS as supplied by the standard repositories (not sure how to find out the version :confused: ).

Any help/suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi,

Was looking for a way to disable the new FC7 firewire stack. Seems to be causing a lot of issues ;-(

I'll repost if this solves my problem. Trying it now.

Hmm... Seems that there isn't a package for my kernel yet ;-(

Looks like it's trying to install an earlier version of the kmdl.

Think I'll wait for a build of the kmdl, and then try again!
