I've got this bizarre situation with a bunch of my Linux client boxes
that NFS mount homes and other stuff from my Panther Server (Xserve
G5 DP). I don't have a handle on whether the Linux clients are to
blame or the server.
When some of the systems boot, they hang when trying to mount their
shares. I'm using static mounting in the /etc/fstab. I can reboot
any number of times, and it keeps happening. If I disable the
firewall, which I'm not thrilled about, they can then connect back up
just fine. The strange thing is that the firewall was on before, and
they were okay to connect up until some strange, magical event
happens that screws it up.
There is no indication of anything odd going on in the server's
logs. Should I suspect the client being wacky in some way?
