I am setting up NFS on s linux server that is also running samba sharing the same directory.

I setup my /etc/exports file with a line like:

/mp3 192.168.0.0/5(ro)

I executed the exportfs -a command, and then I made sure that nfs was running with a status command. Everything seems to be running smoothly on this end.

On the client (both runnin Mandrake 8) I issua a mount -t nfs servername:/mp3 /mp3 command and then it sort of hangs and eventually times out. What could be going on? I can ping servername just fin...

I get an error of RPC 101.

Could this be a problem with Samba sharing the directory as well? I am not sure what's going on here....can someone help me?

UPDATE:

I am still getting timeout errors during the mounting of the drive...but the drive ends up mounting in the end?

Not sure why I am getting errors, or why it's mounting eventually. I have it setup in my export file on the server to mount soft, ro, and bg.

Also...these timeouts are causing the mounting process to take awhile...especially at boot. The mounting just sits there and waits until timeout...before proceeding?

Is this a common problem with easy answers?
