 Posted: Mon May 23, 2005 3:19 am Post subject: Old NFS pbm |
 |
|
For a long time now i have an issue with NFS and Gentoo.
My NFS server is on FREEbsd 5.3(was before on 4.8,4.9 and so on..) . I use Gentoo since kernel 2.4.x ,i have 2.6.x now .
And through all this changes kernel/nfs client and server update on both part i always had the following pbm:
to mount a remote nfs share from my freebsd to my gentoo box, the mount process take 3 min !!! for each share.
at first i thought it was a problem from my server so i look into it and i couldn't find any pbm.Then i look into the client and found nothing.
Until i had to mount a share from a knoppix cd on my laptop;the mount process was 1 sec .Later i install unbuntu for testing on the same laptop and same result :1 sec on both wireless and eth0. I had on this laptop gentoo and experimenting the same problem that i had on my workstation.
So from those observations it seem that the default nfs client install is not suitable in my environnement.But i don't know what to change or what to look for.
of course i already try a million different conf for my "export " file and my "fstab" file ... for "fstab" same conf that i use for knoppix and ubuntu...
what do they add to the nfs client ? or what gentoo(default install-->handbook) doesn't ? |

Using kernel 2.6, are you using the userland NFS client or the kernel support for NFS and the according userland tools?
If the second, what kernel options do you use for your NFS client?
Do you have portmapper or iptables running on your Gentoo box?
I had problems with Gentoo/AIX because of different standard ports (Gentoo exports only work with option insecure in /etc/exports). |

| I don't know exactly for the NFS client, but if I understood correctly the NFS support in the kernel is base for some userland programsl. Obviously you can mount NFS Shares without them, but I would give it a shot and try it with NFS-utils. |

I had this same problem, enabling portmapper fixed it. |
