I'm having some problems setting up 4 nfs shares that mount reliably on
an Etch box that is importing the share from an RS/6000 AIX v3.2
server. It takes about a minute to mount each share at boot, and about
1/2 that time to manually mount one of the shares share. I get an "RPC:
timed out" error on the client if a manual mount fails.
Do I need to specify the version, udp, etc... on the client, as it seems
that nfs v3 wasn't released until long after this server went into
production?
The same client will mount nfs shares from a Debian box on the same
subnet as the AIX machine almost instantly.
AIX v3.2 uses nfsv2, if I am not mistaken.
a line example for /etc/fstab:
remo:/export/aix /mnt/aix/ nfs default,vers=2 0 0
BTW, with version 2 of NFS, both machine mush be able to resolve each
other. Also, since nfsv2 doesn't support rsize and wsize other than
default, don't change them.
