Starting several NFS exports in parallel results in missing exports in exportfs in RHEL 5 or 6
Issue
- Using
exportfsto export a large number of NFS exports in parallel will result in some exports missing. - When a cluster service with an
<nfsclient>resource is starting while another<nfsclient>is stopping, the one being added may silently fail andexportfsdoesn't show it. - Just after starting an
<nfsclient>resource, its status check fails:
