[Wien] nfs problem

[L. D. Marks]

Some suggestions:
1) google "nfs administration", e.g. 
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/usail/network/nfs/admin.html
2) Check /exports and try changing options (I don't like async). Use man 
exports.
3) Turn off automount.
4) Increase the number of nfs servers in /etc/sysconfig/network, e.g.
RPCNFSDCOUNT=16
5) Look in the log files in /var/log
6) Do man -k nfs and follow the commands, e.g. use showmount. Also look at 
man -k network, man netstat.
7) Update the kernels. I would try SUSE first since Slackware is supposed 
to be very (very) stable.
