Re: Re: IRIX NFS server and Linux NFS client

Should work fine. My Linux boxes mount IRIX disks using NFSv3.

Make sure you have Trond's seekdir patch applied and try exporting the
IRIX file systems using the -32bitclients flag - although I haven't seen
"Connection refused" errors without using the patch or the export option
...

Note: I believe the nfs-utils version is irrelevant here as nfs-utils is
for NFS servers.
