Yes, this is a potential problem although I thought I'd made them the same on this machine under Gentoo as when it ran FC2. I'll double check. > > 2.

It's 'server down' when coming from the FC boxes but 'no such file or directory' when coming from my other Gentoo boxes. I found a couple of posts on the web saying that different distros give different messages for the same problem so this may be one problem with different messages. Anyway, my Gentoo boxes cannot mount so clearly I'm missing something. > > 3. What about the comment someone had from the FC list about FC2 or 3 > breaking something. I tried that on the FC2 machine but it didn't help. I've also rebuilt the kernel a couple of times to make sure the NFS options on the Gentoo NFS Wiki were exactly right. I tried the kernel with NFS over TCP checked and unchecked. Always the same results. I'm stumped, but I also believe this is a problem that the community here can get me through so I'll jsut keep plugging away. Thanks for the response! cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
