Which filesystem are you using on the server?
ReiserFS
I'm sorry to say this may well lie at the root of your problem. No matter how much the reiserfs proponents may protest otherwise the fs is not fully compatible with nfs.
Oh My GOD! Is this an opinion or authoritative? No. I'm not trolling or joking. I decided (on the last rebuild, relatively recently) to try Reiser on my primary file server.

It's an opinion, and I keep getting told it's a wrong one, but I've never had any luck setting up NFS with reiser. You experience may, of course, vary wildly from mine. Plenty of people seem to have no problem with the combination so there may well be another ingredient in my setup which leads to the two appearing to interract badly. Dylan

I am hardly an authority, just a user with two bad experiences with ReiserFS. I had a problem on a desktop and it was near impossible to recover from it due to ReiserFS so when I reloaded Suse 9.1 I selected Ext3 instead -- same a couple of days ago on my notebook. If you read the description of the strengths and weaknesses of the different filesystems by Suse recovery is a weak spot for ReiserFS and a strength of Ext3 -- and for most users I see little advantage for selecting ReiserFS over Ext3. -- Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e West Central Florida 100% Linux.

I have to aggree - the maintenance tools for reiser are nowhere near as developed as those for ext3. What is more, ext3 can be accessed and maintained as ext2 is necessary, so there is absolutely no need for extra modules and tools on recovery disks. IMHO of there is no pressing reason to use reiser (or any other fs) then ext2/3 seems the best choice from a maturity and nativeness POV. Dylan -- "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" -Dark Helmet

It's a personal opinion. I performed tests with Bonnie and Bonnie++ on my cluster but I didn't see any bugs (I used nfsstat, netstat -s, ...). I only observed that when one client loaded the network with Bonnie++, the server became much less responsive to requests of other clients. (100 Mb/s Ethernet network, SUSE 9.1, smp kernels) Problems may exist but I don't think that NFS and Reiserfs are responsible for the mount failure. I've used NFS and Reiserfs since 9.0 and I haven't had a single problem related to mounting. -- A.M.
Hi,
I am not an expert.
But using 9.1 I am having problems with NFS. that is why I return to 9.0 and
no proboem again

Don't forget to report the problem via the feedback (http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/feedback.cgi). It doesn't matter that you are not an expert. What matters is that problems are reported. -- A.M.
