I've already added Kevin Day in as the first entry. :) I haven't been able to use NFS between two specific systems for about two months now. It seems to be related to mount: mounts will only succeed about one time out of three. If they don't succeed, a second attempt will invariably hang the machine. It's unrelated to the system running on the client machine (2.2.[567] or -CURRENT), and other machines can mount on the server machine with no problems. I've tried changing just about everything on the client machine, including the Ethernet board, but the problem remains. About the only thing I could think of is the cable length between the machines, but that hasn't changed. I've done some tcpdump traces which show that the server is returning a "port not reachable" error, but I haven't had time to follow all the way through the stack. If anybody has some ideas on this one, I'd be really pleased to help fix it.
