- is that server also the NIS server?
No it's the file server. Just wanted to remind that we experience the same errors with a local (non NIS) user.
- what NFS version are you using?
We do nightly DNF updates:
qemu-block-nfs-2.9.1-1.fc26.x86_64
sssd-nfs-idmap-1.15.3-5.fc26.x86_64
nfs-utils-2.1.1-5.rc5.fc26.x86_64
texlive-mfnfss-svn19410.0-33.fc26.2.noarch
libnfs-1.9.8-3.fc26.x86_64
libnfsidmap-0.27-1.fc26.x86_64
texlive-psnfss-svn33946.9.2a-33.fc26.2.noarch
- with what mount options?
/etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/vg_sobolev-lv_root / ext4 defaults 1 1
UUID=c88d3708-a1c0-49c8-8ee8-xxxxxxx /boot ext4 defaults 1 2
UUID=F6D4-79B0 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2
/dev/mapper/vg_workstation-lv_swap swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/vg_workstation-lv_home /home ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/vg_workstation-lv_local /usr/local ext4 defaults 1 2
- are you using an automounter?
yes autofs
If so, does is make a difference if you disable it and mount the required dir manually for a test?
I can do that for a test. Let me know what would be helpful.
- is /usr/local/bin identical on both servers?
Yes that is shared:
nis-server:/usr/local 11G 5.7G 4.3G 57% /local/nis-server
- (out of couriosity: why are you still sticking to NIS in 2017?)
Legacy issue for ease of account creation each semester. I've been begging our overall IT to get Winbind authentication working with their Active Directory which we've tested and work but they have other priorities...at least for now.
Info: Using ADSL link parameters 512/24/1/0.
So you are using arctica with ADSL. ADSL connections have been modified twice after 3.5.99.7, so maybe you should try the newest version, at least for improved speed.
Can you clarify? Update what package? X2Go on Mac is 4.1.1.1. On the server? We use this repo for nx-libs3.6:
rpm -q nx-libs
nx-libs-3.5.99.7-1.20170506git150cbc2.fc26.x86_64

Is /tmp mounted via NFS?
Definitely not.
