I am running an nfs server and client; bot machines having RedHat 7.1
installed with kernel 2.4.2-2 and nfs-utils-0.3.1-5. The server seems fine.
Everything in my host files are perfect. Infact, i checked my messages file
in /var and it shows the server allowing an incoming nfs connection from
client 192.168.0.1.
I have the following line in my /etc/fstab:
192.168.0.254:/home/Fear /mnt/server1 nfs
rw,hard,intr 0 0
With that added, i used to be able to type mount -a and it would mount
everything in /etc/fstab. It tries to mount the nfs, but chokes up & gives
me the error "mount: RPC: Timed out". I followed every instruction located
in the Linux NFS HOWTO and it referred me to this e-mail for questions.
Thanks for your time.
Kevin

Interesting.
We have ~80 nfs clients and since adding the last 30 we got the problem
that when a lot of users are using the system we often get "RPC: timed
out" on a lot of machines, but in the server lot nothing looks wrong.
Maybe I should try setting up an additional nameserver on the nfs server
because the machine currently running the nameserver is an old sun
ultra1 enterprise...
We also experienced a weird problem where after everything was running
fine for a few days the server would refuse mounts to some clients with
"getfh failed" and you'd have to exportfs -rav to get it working
again...
