HPUX NFS Server / Linux NFS Client

[John Evans_6]

I am trying to connect to an HPUX NFS server using a Linux NFS client, and it doesn't appear to be working properly. I am able to connect to this same NFS share with other HPUX boxes and with Solaris clients as well. However, the Linux boxes that we have will not make the connection. Through network troubleshooting, we have determined that Linux is doing portmapper via TCP instead of UDP, and that seems to be the only difference.

Are there any changes that need to be made to the Linux client or the HPUX server to make NFS work properly between the two?

Thanks.

It may be a very basic question to ask but, did you try the

-proto=udp

directive when you are mounting it from the linux client side ? I am not even sure if this is an option on linux nfs client but worth cheking I thought.

I tested on redhat and mine worked fine. Go to Sam, Network and Communications, network filesystem. Export the fileystem to the hosts you want.

add this on this linux host
server:/usr/local/pub /pub nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr

with correct file systems
