Hi I am having some problems with my new mini mac connecting to my debian amd64 nfs server. I have other linux clients that are working well with nfs. I have raised this on the apple forums, but the suggestion (see the tcpdump) is that the server is not responding. on the nas box /exports/shared -async,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,mp=/exports/shared 192.168.8.0/22(rw) done on the nas box tcpdump -pni eth0 ether host 00:16:cb:b0:87:15 -s 9100 -w nas.capture.dmp (available via http://www.samad.com.au/~alex/nas.capture.dmp) I did this on the mac client mount -t nfs -o rw,async,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 nas.hme1.samad.com.au:/exports/shared /mounts/shared and then tried df -h & (did not return) ps -ef dmesg | tail (lots of server not responding) tcpdump -pni en0 not port 22 (did not see anything - could have let it run longer!!) mount & (finished showed the nfs mount) ls -l /mounts/shared/ & ( did not come back) umount -f /mounts/shared/ & (did not come back) These are the last 3 lines from the dump from nas 45 33.230489 192.168.11.12 -> 192.168.11.14 TCP exp1 > filenet-powsrm [ACK] Seq=166 Ack=82 Win=524280 Len=0 TSV=1053569705 TSER=9151036 46 49.409514 192.168.11.12 -> 192.168.11.14 NFS V3 FSSTAT Call, FH:0xef8ae509 47 49.409665 192.168.11.14 -> 192.168.11.12 NFS V3 FSSTAT Reply (Call In 46) 48 49.409811 192.168.11.12 -> 192.168.11.14 TCP 52730 > nfs [ACK] Seq=1021 Ack=589 Win=524280 Len=0 TSV=1053569866 TSER=9155080 the response i got back from the mac mailing list Packet #41 is an ACCESS call by UID 502 that does not get a response. Packet #42 is an FSSTAT call by UID 502 that does not get a response. >From the looks of it, it would seem the server is choking/stalling on requests that are being performed by the non-root credential: UID 502 GID 20:98:102:101 Something definitely seems wrong on the server. my nas box talks to a ldap server, I don't have uid 502, but that shouldn't stall nfs I would have thought. Any help on how to track this down or ideas on the problem ? Thanks Alex
