I've been having this problem too.
Kill -9'ing rpciod solved this for me too, then I noticed I wasn't starting nfs or nfsmount (although I'm not exporting from the client machine). I've started these & it seems OK now. Fingers crossed. |

Reply to my own post.
Starting nfs/nfsmount on the client makes no odds it still hangs intermittanly. Its wierd though, killall -9 rpciod sorts it when it hangs. even wierder, rpciod doesn't die.
My setup FWIW is NFS client running on gentoo using autofs. NFS server is a RH9 box thats been chugging along nicley for over a year. Other NFS clients have no probs. |

Any chance you know the difference between the kernels as far NFS is conserned?
I have portmap and the whole shabang running, but still have to killall -KILL rpciod to get NFS working decently... 
I run 2.6.7 gentoo kernel.
Thanks!

I was just reading an other thread where they advised to use "nolock" in the mount option. too bad that I cant put them in exports on the serverside, besides changing kernel-type to mm-somthing...

My NFS was working fine, but is now experiencing these problems. This is what I have dmesg:
| Code: |
nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
NFS: readdir reply truncated!
nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
NFS: readdir reply truncated!
nfs: server 192.168.126.137 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 192.168.126.137 OK
nfs: server 137.99.126.137 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 137.99.126.137 OK
nfs: server 137.99.126.137 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 137.99.126.137 OK
|
I haven't changed any kernel settings, I just restarted both server and client. Now it does the strange app hanging behavior. I'm going to try a few other things, like manually starting portmap and nfs. This is really frustrating, since everything was working before I had to reboot.

| Dealing with the mount version older than kernel error messages, I believe that the issue at hand is that mount.nfs is older than the kernel module or the NFS version required to mount the share, ie the target NFS server version. At least that's what I always get when I mount my Gentoo based share from my Fedora Core 1 boot on another machine and the stock kernel build was the 2.4 tree (even though I updated it to 2.6.7). About the portmap issue, try to make both references to your hosts the same maybe, ie IP address and IP address or hostname and hostname, not IP address and hostname or vice versa. This may have something to do with the issues you guys are experiencing, but I'm not sure. I think my issues just lie with the fact that I redid my system and for some odd reason I can't get my Windows Services for Unix setup to work properly. |

I agree with your assessment, as the problem cleared up when I updated the kernel on both machines.

| Well, I fixed my NFS. The problem was the host list in exports, as usual. |
