nfs_stat_to_errno: bad nfs status return value: 88

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

Hi,

I'm getting this message from my 64bit Redhat 5.5 NFSv3 clients. They are mounting an Oracle 7110 Array that is exporting the NFS shares.

nfs_stat_to_errno: bad nfs status return value: 88

As the 7110 is a Solaris/ZFS array I've traced the errno 88 to be an "Illegal Byte Sequence" by looking in /usr/include/sys/errno.h on a Solaris 10 box.

I can't see what is causing it though.

My Locale looks like this on my clients;

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Any idea?

Thanks,

GL

I'm pretty sure this is due to problems with character settings.

As you can see, my clients all use UTF-8. I think the messages on the clients are because they can't read some of the characters in the filenames on the NFS array. We are providing multiple languages on our sites so this is a likely cause, but I can't actually find any files that might prove my theory.

Any input would be helpful!

We have a similar issue with our 7310 appliance. Have you found an answer?

We are running RHEL4 32 bit at the moment and getting the same error: NFS_STAT_TO_ERRNO: bad nfs status return value:88

Do you still believe this has to do with character settings?
