An interesting NFS mounting problem

[Zhou, Jingchen]

Thank you all for your responses.
 
So, I googled around and found this solution, and it works!

http://crazytoon.com/2007/05/11/centos-and-redhat-problem-nfs-mount-at-boot-up-fails-with-error-system-error-no-route-to-host/

But I don't know if this is a proper solution though, as I have a number of applicaiton daemons which get started at run level 3 and depend on the NFS filesystems. My concern is that the application daemons may start up before netfs, as netfs sleeps 30s.
 
My question is that why do I have to do this on this client, as I have a large number of NFS clients that have the same hardware/OS and are configured identically. All works except for this client. Why it takes so long for
network to start and set up routes etc.? Is it something wrong with my NIC card ?
 
Thanks,
Jingchen

Subject: An interesting NFS mounting problem



I am having a problem to mount a NFS volume /home (exported by a RHEL4 server nfs0) on a NFS client which is also RHEL4.

The server (nfs0) is configured as such
$ cat /etc/exports
/home nfsclient1(rw)

and the client (nfsclient1) as such:
#cat /etc/fstab
nfs0:/home            /home           nfs     defaults        0 0

When the client boots up, I get the following error message:

"Mounting NFS filesystems: mount: mount to NFS server 'nfs0' failed: System Error: No route to host."

However, I have no problem to ping the server (nfs0) from nfsclient1 and I also can mount /home manually via e.g. "mount /home" from command line.

Am I missing any?

Thanks,
JC
