 |
|
Problem:
I can mount the nfs share just fine--
/etc/exports (on host):
/mnt/hdb3 192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0(no_subtree_check,async,rw)
but when I try to copy a file onto the client machine from the host machine, it just hangs, and ^c won't interrupt it. No matter what. It creates a zero size file on the client machine with the same name, but just hangs.
What could the problem be?  |

Have you installed and started portmap on both computers?

getchoo,
when mounting the nfs volume, try adding "wsize=8192,rsize=8192,hard,intr" to the mount options.
HTH,

Thanks for the responses.
Portmap is installed on both computers. Fstab options didn't work.
And strangely, not sure what I did but I can no longer list /mnt/nfsshare. It just hangs there without listing |

| Have you looked at your logfiles on both client and server? Look for messages from portmap, rpc.mountd, rpc.statd and mount. |

the exports file only accepts a filesystem path as a valid export not a raw block device . also the default behavior for nfsd is sync io which will yeild much faster transfers. here's an example of a valid export I use on one of my racked systems on my lan 
| Code: | silicon etc # cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported. See exports(5).
/home/ali3n 192.168.0.210(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,sync) |
