df returns inaccurate information for nfs mounted drives

[stevenriz]

Hi we're running Redhat Enterprise linux and have some nfs mounted file systems from another server. One mount point is an 18TB volume but on the server that is nfs mounting it, it only reports it as a 6TB. It's really weird, any reason for this? Are there special mount parameters for larger file systems that I am missing?

Ok it isn't giving inaccurate information per say. It is basically mounting the wrong directory.

We mount three directories from a server on other servers.
/dir1 which is 7TB
/dir2 which is 6TB
/dir3 which is 18TB

the exports file is fine. exportfs has been run and nfs has been restarted.

when mounting /dir3, it actually displays as if it's /dir1. strange..... Any thoughts?

What does your /etc/fstab look like?

What about when you issue the mount command?

Are the directories showing up as the correct mount points?

this turned out to be the exports file where the two mounts had the same ID. My colleague here found the problem.
