I have each server setup as a client and a server with the default switches specified in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. I periodically get the following error message when booting one of the servers. CAnnont send MNT PRC: PRC: port mapper failure-rpc:timeout. Since I have "5" NFS servers setup on the same network do I need to configure the servers with different options in /etc/defaults/rc.conf? Can a server also be configured as a client with no issues? I know someone will ask. So, the reason why I am doing this is to test a hardware network device. So, I am using NFS to copy files from one machine to the other. I have 5 machines setup 1,2,3,4,5. I set up the mounts via NFS as follows 1 to 2 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5 5 to 1 I then copy data in the following pattern at the same time. 1 to 2 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5 5 to 1 I leave this running for 24 hours at least. I also get an error message that sometimes the NFS server has stopped responding. Any help would be appreciated. Curtis __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
