Withrow Associates Lines: 24 Message-ID: <316E57D8.167EB0E7@rwwa.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: rwwa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) I have a weird (to me) problem mounting a NFS volume that is served on a multi-homed sun box. The situation is this: a volumne (say /x) is served by host foo that has two IP addresses, foo and foo-le0. I can do this: mount foo-le0:/x /mnt but doing this fails, and more or less hangs: mount foo:/x /mnt I can ping, log into, and otherwise diddle foo, and I can mount both ways from an adjacent sunos box. The -le0 path is on the local subnet (and the local ethernet segment), whereas the plain path is through a couple of routers and a fddi loop. Any ideas? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
