X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Andrew Webster" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I've got an interesting problem that cropped up recently, and I can't figure out why it used to work, and now it doesn't. The scenario: A FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system running NFS server A FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system trying to mount from above system What happens: The server has in /etc/exports: /local -alldirs -maproot=nobody:nogroup -network 198.168.36 -mask 255.255.255.0 The remote (198.168.36.71) can MOUNT /local, but any attempt to access it (ls, mount, df, etc) it hangs. 'showmount -a' on the server correctly shows the client having mounted the directory, and 'showmount -e vhf36' on the client correctly shows the mountpoints on the server. I can see some sort of exponential retry timeout goingon by watching the LEDS on the network card. The only way to unstick the process is to reboot the client system. To make matters worse, I can reverse the situation and correctly mount a filesystem from the "client" system! What have I done, this used to work just fine!
