Improve NFS client performance
Authored by: bluehz on May 09, '03 08:44:28AM

All I ever get when I try to conncet to my Linux Server:

(on the mac)
NFS Portmap: RPC Port Mapper Failure -RPC : Timed Out

I can't tell you how many forums and mailing lists I have posted
that error msg on and no one seems to know what it is. Well
whatever it is - it happens when I try to connect to my Linux
server via NFS and it continues to fill up my logs until I
reboot.

You probably need to enable the 'insecure' option on the server. Here is my /etc/exports file:
/home           68.166.39.0/255.255.255.128(rw,insecure)
/media          68.166.39.0/255.255.255.128(rw,insecure)
/var/www/html   68.166.39.0/255.255.255.128(rw,insecure)

pass the -P option to mount, or add it to the opts property of your mount in netinfo.

cheers.
