Re: Delays on "first" access to a NFS mount

["Talpey, Thomas" <Thomas.Talpey@netapp.com>]

The delay seems to be on the server side. What is the server running?
Does it have any nameservice issues? Delays on the first response can
often be due to server exports checking, which usually requires reverse
name lookups.
