When I try and mount the nfs partition I usually get one of three things happening. One, the most common; mount hangs the terminal session it was started from and cannot be killed, it may respond after a while with "nfs server BLAH not responding" but still cannot be killed. Two, "access permission denied". Three, various RPC errors such as "RPC program not registered" etc. I have tried the FAQ, but the solutions to nfs mounting problems given there did not work. I have also tried various other mount options including: rsize, wsize, soft, tcp, noconn and others. I feel I am missing something obvious and that the solution should not be that hard. If some kind person(s) could mail me with any problems and their solutions they had when mounting nfs drives, no matter how trivial, I am sure I could work out what my problem is. Also any tips as to how to go about debugging the problem would be greatly appreciated. Here is some more information: - tried with both distribution and rebuilt kernel - tried two different servers, both with nfs file systems exported to everybody - telnet, ftp etc work fine to both servers - access to the servers is via a gateway - client machine is in DNS of both servers - using a NE1000 TP ethernet card, standard config Thank you for any help you can give me, Fergus. fergus@kauri.vuw.ac.nz
