In all cases, you need to either: 1. Provide the option "nolock" to turn of NFS file locking (which means that things like elm can't lock mailboxes and will get upset if the mailboxes are on a NFS partition). 2. before running the mount command: a) make sure the loopback interface is up and running b) ensure that the portmapper (called portmap or rpc.portmap) is running. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
