Mounting NFS server only works after restarting NFS?

Hi,

If I try to mount my NFS server I get a permission error. When I restart the NFS service on the server and then restart netmount on the client it suddenly works. What can explain this unexpected behaviour?

Thanks.

(I don't know what other information I need to inlcude with this topic so just ask and I post it here as soon as possible.)

Is your client running nfs service (/etc/init.d/nfs) ?

Run nfs services is recessary on client (searching on forums:http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-20 ... t-nfs.html).

Thanks for the reply.

/etc/init.d/nfs is not running on my client. In fact I don't even emerged nfs-utils.

But I don't know why I need it because AFAIK the kernel provides nfs support. Also note that it works without the nfs-service only not the first time.
