I have a fresh install of SuSE 6.3 and FreeBSD 4.0. The SuSE machine is the NFS server and FreeBSD the client. I am able to mount a directory on the FreeBSD box and list directories on the mount. As soon as I try to copy over a file, the NFS connections locks on me. What do I have setup incorrectly?
More info: With previous installs of SuSE 6.2 I tried setting one Linux up as an NFS server and another as client. I ran into the EXACT same problem. I have a feeling that I do NOT have something configured correctly on the SuSE end of things. This is the status of my SuSE rc.config file:
START_PORTMAP="yes" NFS_SERVER="yes" USE_KERNEL_NFSD="yes" USE_KERNEL_NFSD_NUMBER="4" NFS_SERVER_UGID="no" REEXPORT_NFS="no"
Do I need to compile the Linux kernel in some special way? I am using the default SMP kernel.
Is there some daemon I need to have running? In the O'Reilly book it talks about biod on the client and the rpc.lockd and rpc.statd daemon's on the server. What daemons do I need running on the SuSE NFS server and FreeBSD client? (As soon as I have this working with the FreeBSD client, there will be a SuSE client, too).
Have you tried using the standard nfsd, rather than the one in the kernel? I have some vague memories of there being problems with the kernel NFS server (but I'm probably wrong). Set all the KERNEL_NFSD to "no" or whatever rc.config suggests to disable the kernel server, and then rerun SuSEConfig. Make sure the kernel server has stopped, and then run 'rcnfsserver start' and see if that solves your problem.
