[Wylug-help] NFS woes

[Dave Fisher]

Hi all,

I booted my laptop this morning and found it incapable of nfs mounting the
server hardisk and dvd writer that I habitually use on it.

Can anyone explain the following (where laptop=10.0.0.2 and server=10.0.0.1)?

  1. Command in laptop xterm:

     $ sudo mount -t nfs 10.0.0.1:/mnt/hdc1 /mnt/server-hdc1

  2. syslog on laptop:

     Jul 10 15:43:08 laptop kernel: nfs warning: mount version older than
     kernel
     Jul 10 15:43:19 laptop kernel: nfs: server 10.0.0.1 not responding,
     still trying

  3. syslog on server:

     Jul 10 15:43:08 server mountd[6258]: NFS mount of /mnt/hdc1
     attempted from 10.0.0.2
     Jul 10 15:43:08 server mountd[6258]: /mnt/hdc1 has been mounted by
     10.0.0.2

  4. xterm on laptop locked up and no disks actually mounted on laptop

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Both systems are essentially Debian testing.
