[NFS] Question about Linux 7.1 NFS client with IRIX 6.5.3 server

[Ubik]

Hello everybody,

this is my first Linux day - I just installed Linux RedHat 7.1 on
a newly assembled PC. Everything goes fine, except when I
try to mount disks via NFS. The NFS server is an IRIX 6.5.3
(Silicon Graphics), the Linux client simply waits for a while and
it says "Timeout".
I think the client is configured correctly.

Has somebody experienced a problem like this?

Thank you very much for your time - best regards,

Enzo Catalano

run rpcinfo -p on the client

see if anything shows up.

it sounds like one of a few things:

1. you setup the default ipchains on rh linux 7.1 which will prohibit
nfs
2. you don't have the portmapper running and the locker is timing out
starting up.
3. the remote system is firewalled in some way disallowing the connect but
just swallowing the packet not explicitly rejecting it.
