Example settings from my /etc/exports: /exports/<DIR> 192.168.0.0/2 (ro,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) Example settings from my /etc/auto.* (automount): * -fstype=nfs4,rw,tcp,port=2049,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid <SERVER>:/<PATH>/& Maybe the options *async* and the settings for rsize and wsize could be helpful for you? regards Olaf
