FC3 NFS Problem *URGENT*

[indigoblu]

Hello...

Im having a problem getting a new FC3 machine to connect to a RH9 NFS server. I have another FC3 machine setup by a college of mine doing just fine.. put I cant seem to replicate this seemingly simple task. Here is the output....


Results (from client):

[root@linuxlab2 exports]# mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=2 linux-srv:/home /mnt/exports/
mount to NFS server 'linux-srv' failed: server is down.

solution:

there is a bug in util-linux package that defaults NFS to TCP connections without regressing to UDP.

Buzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=150775

Do you have util-linux-2.12a-21 installed? There seems to be a problem with that version. Downgrade to an older version or wait for 2.12a-22, that one will work.
