-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Situation: Some machines can mount a share, others can not. For example, I can mount the share on a 12.3 host with a 12.3, acting as nfsserver, with a 12.3 guest in vmplayer, acting as nfs client. However, the same host machine can not mount it localy to itself (nfs client); neither can my laptop (network is fine: I can ping and ssh). Server exports entry (one single line, wrapped here for clarity): /data/storage_c/repositorios_zypp/ \ 192.168.1.0/24(fsid=1234,rw,no_root_squash,nohide,no_subtree_check,insecure) \ 172.16.108.0/24(fsid=1234,rw,no_root_squash,nohide,no_subtree_check,insecure) \ 192.168.74.0/24(fsid=1234,rw,no_root_squash,nohide,no_subtree_check,insecure) \ 127.0.0.1(fsid=1234,rw,no_root_squash,nohide,no_subtree_check,insecure) Server import entry: localhost:/data/storage_c/repositorios_zypp/ /mnt/nfs/tmp nfs defaults 0 0 vmplayer guest; fstab entry: telcontar.valinor:/data/storage_c/repositorios_zypp /var/cache/zypp/nfs_packages nfs4 defaults 0 0 Output in terminal using vmplayer guest: eleanor3:~ # mount | grep nfs rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw,relatime) telcontar.valinor:/data/storage_c/repositorios_zypp on /var/cache/zypp/nfs_packages type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.74.127,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.14) eleanor3:~ # eleanor3:~ # ls /var/cache/zypp/nfs_packages 11_2 Karlos Arguiñano en tu cocina (20110617) - Q9.480*384.xvid.avi 11_3 NO_BORRAR__son_cruciales 11_4 not_mounted 12_1 notas 12_2 notas~ 12_3 se_montan_en_var_cache_zypp_packages eleanor3:~ # eleanor3:~ # umount /var/cache/zypp/nfs_packages eleanor3:~ # time mount /var/cache/zypp/nfs_packages real 0m0.085s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.013s eleanor3:~ # (it was mounted on boot) However, if I try on the server, local nfs mount, all I get is a long timeout, or nothing.
