hpux 11.23 panic lo_realvfs

Panic string: lo_realvfs

 

if you have automountd or autofs turned on and an application or someone tries to access the local machine via /net/HOSTNAME, autofs creates a LOFS mount it since it's a local file sytem.  This rarely cuases problems but there is a known issue with the LOFS code that causes a panic, with Panic string: lo_realvfs in the /etc/shutdownlog

 

The work-around is to add the -L option to AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS in the nfsconf file:

check the options first:

ch_rc -vlp AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS

 

add the -L option:

ch_rc -ap AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS=-L

 

reboot the box or restart NFS:   (you may only have to restart nfs.client, but I have not tested that)

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop

/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop

 

/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
