I'm having a really strange problem with mounting NFS partitions on my Debian box. I have another box running an NFS server on the same network, and am trying to mount an NFS share on my client PC. I type:
mount 10.1.1.40:/home/cvs -t nfs /home/cvs And the terminal in which I do this completely hangs. I can close it if it's an xterm. Sometimes it actually mounts the partition... but still hangs the terminal. Whether or not it mounts the partition, mount becomes an unkillable process (kill -9 does nothing). umount similarly locks the terminal. What am I doing wrong? FYI: I'm running Woody w/ 2.4.17 custom compiled kernel. Yes, I did compile in NFS support. What am I doing wrong?
