AFter starting the NFS server, ...
How did you do it? IMHO, there are 2 NFS server services running on my machine (SuSE 8.2): # chkconfig | grep nfs nfs on (this is an NFS client service) nfslock on nfsserver on rpcinfo then reports: # rpcinfo -p localhost program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 32768 status 100024 1 tcp 32768 status 100021 1 udp 32769 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 32769 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 32769 nlockmgr 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100005 1 udp 32770 mountd 100005 1 tcp 32769 mountd 100005 2 udp 32770 mountd 100005 2 tcp 32769 mountd 100005 3 udp 32770 mountd 100005 3 tcp 32769 mountd I think you didn't activate all services and therefore you got those RPC timeouts. -- A.M.
