When I first brought up 2.0 on Journey2, I got the cdrom using ftp from n3lxx, my 1.1.5.1 machine. Since then, to give myself visibility to the 2.0 cdrom on Journey2, I mounted it on n3lxx's /cdrom directory, then did an nfs mount from Journey2 to n3lxx:/cdrom. This worked ok until today. Today, my other nfs mounts between both machines work ok, but whenever I try to mount n3lxx:/cdrom from Journey2, Journey2 waits for the mount, giving occaisonal portmap timeout error warnings, and I get one new mountd process *each second* started on n3lxx. I can kill the mountd processes on n3lxx, but they create so fast, I have to quickly reboot or I think I'd risk overflowing a resource somewhere (I probably have more than 100 mountd processes by that time). Portmap's alive on both machines, and the other mounts still work fine, I checked it both before and after the cdrom mount attempt. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks.
