/etc/hosts permissions OK? I ask because it should be worl-readable and you sudo'd it.
It is - I was overdoing it....
IIRC (it's been a long time), the RPC stuff needs to be running for nfs locks, status, etc. Are they? I can't confirm this because I don't have any nfs stuff running.
But I don't recall whether server/clioent needs any/all on one or both.
Anyway, that and portmap? Not sure. /etc/hosts/{deny,allow} come into play if portmap is in use.
I don't recall dinking with the nfs service, so I ps'd it.
rpc 2284 1 0 05:36 ? 00:00:00 portmap rpcuser 2310 1 0 05:36 ? 00:00:00 rpc.statd root 2356 1 0 05:36 ? 00:00:00 rpc.idmapd
Maybe that gives a clue?
I get (psg = ps -ef | grep -i):
[mrichter@swordfish ~]$ psg rpc rpc 5786 1 0 14:32 ? 00:00:00 portmap root 5937 11 0 14:32 ? 00:00:00 [rpciod/0] root 5938 11 0 14:32 ? 00:00:00 [rpciod/1]
Showmounts might help you out (server side only?).
I'm listed there (it's 'showmount' though :-).
I am now certain that this is an nfs issue, but I haven't a clue where to look. I noticed that my backup system had a /var/lock/subsys/nfslock file, so I touched it over here. I think it's running a little faster, but it's still like tar whenever one of my home dir files gets touched (which is a lot, since most apps use their .<appname> files for local storage).
Any nfs gurus here?
:-)
Thanks to everyone so far....
