You are probably establishing a NFSv2 connection. The workaround I used to solve the problem was to instruct the server not to accept NFSv1 nor NFSv2 connections. But, you can try to force a specific version on the mount command from the client side by giving the parameter 'nfsvers=3'. eg: mount -t nfs -o defaults,nfsvers=3 nfsserver:/share /mountpoint If it works, you can then instruct the server not to accept NFSv1/2 connections, if it suits your needs, of course. > Thanks, Dave > Hope it helps, Rui -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/ Veni, vidi, Linux! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
