NFS portmap problem
At boot, just after the nfs shares in fstab have been mounted, the system hangs for a while saying:
"NFS portmap: RPC Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out"
What could be the reason for this?
Eventually it continues to boot.
After boot, all seems normal.

Re: NFS portmap problem
I'll take a guess at some sort of name resolution problem. Do all of the NFS mounts actually mount ?
Cheers,
Rob

Re: NFS portmap problem
/etc/resolv.conf seems to be correct.
Are there other supplementary settings that may be in conflict?

Re: NFS portmap problem
What switch infrastructure are you connected to ?
I was troubleshooting an XP1000 booting over the LAN recently and noticed that the NIC goes up and down 2 or 3 times during the boot. The Cisco switch I was connected to was consequently stopping traffic being passed so the boot failed.
It sounds like you have a similar situation... Although you don't say how long "eventually" or a "while" is...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: NFS portmap problem
I had three NFS mount lines in /etc/fstab to a non-existent machine, thus the timeout.
With the lines removed, it boots without delay.
Again, sorry to have taken your time.
