NFS problem

[James F Davis]

Not replying to help, but I'm experiencing the same problem with my nfs
shares.  I think it might have something to with timing and iptables
locking up the related/established links before the server/client is
done talking.  I'm running the nfsd on a slow ~200Mhz machine w/ USB
drives so there's a lot of latency that might be causing this problem.

I've knocked out the iptables holes for the server-ports to establish
the link but the problem occurs when the server/client start talking on
the pseudo-random high number ports...

Any ideas here?

Thanks,
Jim

Hello,

My systems

RedHat 9.0              Fedora (Laptop)
Host                    Client
2 shares

In Fedora's fstab I have defined the shares of the host.  They are
defined 
with the ip address.  When I boot the Fedora machine it takes a long
time for 
the nfs mounts to mount.  After everything is up and running if I try to
ls 
the shares it takes a long time too, and some times I see the following:

nfs:  server x.x.x.x not responding, still trying
nfs:  server x.x.x.x OK
nfs:  server x.x.x.x not responding, still trying
nfs:  server x.x.x.x OK


and then the directory is listed.

No both machine I have the following services up and running:

nfs
netfs
nfslock
portmap
network

I have asked on #fedora and was told that it is most likely a DNS issue
but 
this i don't believe because the host lookup order is to first look in
hosts 
file which all machines are defined.

Does anyone know of any other place or places I need to look?

Thnx
