Okay, but I can mount these filesystems directly with the 'mount' command using either NFSv3 tcp or udp and it works fine. When I try to mount these same partitions through autofs it hangs every time unless I force tcp mode. This, of course, breaks autofs w.r.t. linux servers since linux nfsd can't do tcp mode yet.
NFS seems to be working fine in all modes, I am only having a problem with autofs. --aaron > -----Original Message----- > From: H.
