I have a problem on mounting NFS from Linux to BSD.

The situation is that when I try to mount a Linux Partition,
using a BSD box, apparently, there is no problem.  But when
I do an ls inside the directory, it saids: NFS stale something
like that.

But when I do the reverse, it works just fine.

And I also tried:  Linux <-> Linux,  FreeBSD <-> FreeBSD
and no problem found.

I dunno whether rpcinfo -p is helpful or not.  When I do
the rpcinfo -p in Linux and FreeBSD, it reports differently
for the mountd port.  Is it the main cause for the problem.

Any respond will be appreciated.
