Mounting A Remote Nfs Volume
« on: December 23, 2005, 03:58:22 pm »
RC12 is a smooth piece of work, and most things work out of the box.  However, I'm trying to mount a remote NFS volume:

mount -t nfs {url}:{exported path} /mnt/net

and it just hangs.  (It all works fine under Cacko.)  Is this a problem anyone else has?

Q:
    When i try to mount an NFS share it takes a long time/forever?
A:
    Use the -nolock parameter when mounting. Some people also recommend using the server:/zaurus /mnt nfs noauto,hard,intr,nolock,async,nfsvers=2 0 0

Many thanks for the pointer.  I tried an FAQ search but failed to turn that up.  Must try harder.

The command that worked in the end was:

mount {server}:{path} /mnt/{mountpoint} -t nfs -o noauto,hard,intr,nolock,async,nfsvers=2
