ah, just tested that. you're absolutely right. if i turn
portmap off, it takes a long time to mount (what's
it doing? probing ports? it mounts eventually,
after all).
thanks for the pointer. it's a good thing to remember for
other installations. it works now though, since i did
enable portmap (because i tend to share files in both
directions, something i didn't think of before).
i probably disabled it previously because, well, portmap
used to be a source of insecurity (it probably still is,
haven't heard of any new issues though) and i just turn
off all services i don't think i'll be using.
huh, the Linux NFS howto even says that portmap, lockd
and statd need to be running ON THE CLIENT. i didn't
understand that when i was reading it though. i thought
it meant that they should be running on the server.
thanks again.
