My basic system info: gw# uname -mnprs FreeBSD gw 4.10-STABLE i386 i386 It doesn't seem to work: gw# mount -v -t nfs lg:/mnt/tt/music /root/uu lg:/mnt/tt/music: NFSPROC_NULL: RPC: Timed out ^C It works when I try on the server though... (Hopefully this also shows that basic networking is OK between the two boxes...) gw# ssh lg Password: root@lostgweilo:~# pwd pwd /root root@lostgweilo:~# mkdir uu mkdir uu root@lostgweilo:~# mount -v -t nfs lg:/mnt/tt/music /root/uu mount -v -t nfs lg:/mnt/tt/music /root/uu lg:/mnt/tt/music on /root/uu type nfs (rw,addr=127.0.0.1) root@lostgweilo:~# exit exit logout Connection to lg closed. RPC calls seem OK either with TCP or UDP: gw# rpcinfo -u lg nfs program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting program 100003 version 3 ready and waiting gw# rpcinfo -t lg nfs program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting program 100003 version 3 ready and waiting I read in "Managing NFS and NIS" by Hal Stern, in Chapter 10 p. 231 that that "rpcinfo -u" is supposed to call the null procedure of the RPC server... The error message I get from mount seems related... But I have no clue, it just does the same thing all the time: gw# mount -v -t nfs lg:/mnt/tt/music /root/uu lg:/mnt/tt/music: NFSPROC_NULL: RPC: Timed out ^C I also noticed that "portmap" doesn't run on my client. It won't start. Is it needed, for an NFS client? gw# portmap -d portmap[36419]: cannot bind udp: Address already in use gw# tail /var/log/messages Sep 17 05:00:00 gw newsyslog[90252]: logfile turned over due to size>100K Sep 17 16:50:41 gw dhclient: New Network Number: 192.168.1.0 Sep 17 16:50:41 gw dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255 Sep 17 23:14:55 gw portmap[9379]: cannot bind udp: Address already in use Sep 17 23:15:12 gw portmap[9472]: cannot bind udp: Address already in use Sep 18 00:23:26 gw portmap[36419]: cannot bind udp: Address already in use Naive attempt to investigate the portmap error message: gw# netstat -a -f inet Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp4 0 0 192.168.1.100.4294 lg.ssh ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 *.smtp *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 *.ssh *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 *.telnet *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 *.sunrpc *.* LISTEN udp4 0 0 *.* *.* udp4 0 0 *.sunrpc *.* udp4 0 0 *.syslog *.* udp4 0 0 *.bootpc *.* Basically I have no clue what is going on. I hope you can suggest things to look at. Regards. Lostgweilo _________________________________________________________________ Linguaphone : Learning English?
