Hi, it is exactly as you're writing, thanks for help. I've been trying to solve it with NFSv4 for a short while, but it behaved the same way. So at last, i configured autofs, which is mounting all the logical volume mountpoints itself. Just for the others, here's the way i configured autofs: [root at client]# echo "/net /etc/auto.escience" > /etc/auto.master [root at client]# echo "* -rw,intr,soft,timeo=300,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 nfs_server:/export/escience/&" > /etc/auto.escience [root at client]# service autofs restart [root at client]# touch /net/<name_of_the_share> Thanks again Filipe.
