Thank you, thank you, thank you (or should I say tak, tak, tak)! The nolock option did the trick. It wasn't required in CentOS 4, but sure is in CentOS 5. I wonder what defaults have changed (I didn't find anything in the man pages for mount and nfs). In both cases I am accessing the same NFS server, which is a CentOS 4.4 system (soon to be a CentOS 5 system also). Alfred
