Can't write to FIFO file mouted via NFS

Asked 2009-06-24T14:36:59.813

I'm trying to write to FIFO file locate on NFS mount and it blocks. What could be the problem?

My /etc/export:

/tmp/test/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)

ls /tmp/test on NFS server and client is the same

prw--w--w- 1 root root 0 2009-06-24 17:28 ui-input

and I'm writing as root

Thanks.

Do you have a reader on the FIFO? FIFOs will block until there is something reading on the other end. (Usual exceptions for opening in non-blocking mode apply.)
