Hi,
This problem is exactly the same problem I have had setting up NFS in 8.1 using YAST2; and I AM using Reiserfs. Still no resolution ......................... PeterB
Bloody marvelous :-)

Seriously, there appears to be a major interraction between nfs and reiser (at least, lots of people report similar problems which are apparently 'cured' by using ext3 instead.

This then leads me to next minor issue.. how to convert from reiserfs to ext3 without need to format whole partition.. that is not possible at the moment....

No. You can't do that. We ended up setting up vsftpd on the server so we could transfer the stuff we needed for it to the client using ftp for a backup and then doing a fresh reinstall of SuSE to the server afterwards. We then used nfs to get it all back again ;) BTW ftp between the two boxes maybe a workaround for you. Steve
