Dear list subscribers,
At first I thought my command:
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.6:/etc /mnt/nfs
... had failed. It seemed to have hanged. I tried to kill it with
Ctrl^C, then with 'kill -SIGKILL <procid>', killing the Konsole tabbed
terminal ... but with no luck.
The process just would not die.
Eventually, I found, to my surprise, that that the 'mount' command
had not only withstood all my attempts to smother it, but it also
succeeded after all. I don't know whether it took 15 minutes
or two hours, but whatever the time lag was, it it had taken far too
long. can anyone tell me how to work out what the problem could be?
The entry in 192.168.0.6:/etc/exports is:
/etc 192.168.0.2(ro)
.... where 192.168.0.2 is the nfs client.
