Hi Sathish,

Have you tried shutting off the firewall on the NFS server?

Have you tried re-booting the NFS server?

I realize that its considered "poor form" to reboot Linux systems to in
order to clean things up but I've been doing NFS performance testing for
one of our clusters and it was the only way I could get some of our FC2
NFS servers to be responsive.
