I had this running beautifully on ReHad 6.1 and FreeBSD 3.2 before I moved =
my
own box from RedHat to FreeBSD.

Thomas Keusch had the audacity to say:

>=20
> does anybody happen to be running NFS between FreeBSD und Linux

>=20
> I've got FreeBSD 3.4S cvsupped xmas or one, maybe two days after,
> running as NFS server, while my Linux v2.2.14 box is the client.
>=20
> On Linux, I mount stuff like this:
>=20
> $ mount -t nfs -o ro,noauto,user,tcp,rsize=3D8192,wsize=3D8192,timeo=3D14=
,intr \
> darkstar:/storage /tmp/storage.darkstar
>=20
> On the FreeBSD side of the universe, I've got this in /etc/rc.conf:
>=20
> $ grep -e nfs -e mount /etc/rc.conf
> nfs_server_enable=3D"YES"
> nfs_server_flags=3D"-t -n 4"
> mountd_flags=3D"-2 -r"
>=20
> Ok, so if I get things right, which I think (hopefully) I do, this means

> NFS v2 via the "-2" switch given to mountd and the 4 nfsd only serve
> stuff via TCP/IP ("-t" argument).
>=20

>=20
> Restarting nfsd/mountd, whichever order of starting them, doesn't seem
> to help, on the Linux box processes accessing the NFS fs still hang.
> Having restarted the daemons, I can mount another fs, though.
> (Don't know if this works without restarting, sorry. But I can test..)
>=20
> *Finally* :-)
> ... finally this is the error message I get on the Linux box syslog:
>=20
> dante kernel: nfs: server darkstar not responding, still trying
>=20
>=20
> Any ideas on that one?
>=20
> Is my assumption, that _only_ NFS v2 via TCP/IP, *NOT* UDP, will work

>=20
> So, is there some help for me?

>=20
> Thanks for your valueable time, if you actually read this far :-))
