Hi
At my company, we have a redhat 9 server which is a nfs and nis server. It handles our logins and home-dirs. After updating my Fedora 3 machine with util-linux, i cannot log on anymore. In my log it says:
Mar 31 13:58:54 localhost automount[5900]: >> mount to NFS server 'artemis' failed: server is down. Mar 31 13:58:54 localhost automount[5900]: >> mount: backgrounding "artemis:/export/home/espens"
This happened on a Fedora 4 machine that we just set up.
Put UDP in your fstab mounting options. I believe the latest NFS is trying to use TCP instead of UDP. The older Linux NFS servers don't support TCP.
For example: computer:/raid /storage/ nfs udp,defaults 0 0
If you're using any non-default mount option, you can skip the "defaults" as it's just a placeholder in the fstab file:
computer:/raid /storage/ nfs udp 0 0
