Looks like the same problem I see on some of my FC6 boxes. I use an OpenVMS
system to mount the FC6-shares. I get a time-out on the mount. When I use
nfswatch on the FC6 machine I see the mount command coming in and being
processed forever. Some other FC6 machines with a slightly different number of
packages installed do not show thios behaviour. All machines run the latest
Updates.
I have no clue where to look since I cannot discover any difference in
configuration of NFS. Can NetworkManager interfere with proper working of NFS?
