Hi Harry, thanks for your help - you've helped me find a reasonably simple solution - just put the option 'tcp' in fstab - yep the RH9 box defaults to UDP and just switching to TCP works also The connection works fine with UDP, it's just that I get a large tcpdump log each day for the NFS file transfers and I was trying to work out how to get rid of them from the log My router logs pretty much all packets coming and going in all directions and I recently put a backup drive in it for the RH9 box which runs it's backup each night (over NFS) and of course suddenly the daily local log file grew quite large due to the backup -Thanks again for your help -Cheers On Mon, 2005-01-31 at 02:02, Harry Hoffman wrote: > Andrew, > > First guess would be that the RH9 box is running NFSV2 and using udp as > a transport and the FC2 boxes are running NFSV3 and using tcp as a > transport.
