I did the updates of 8.04.3 LTS that required a reboot this week. I have several directories that are shared via nfs. After I rebooted the machines one of the nfs directories would not mount on the client. The directory is for an external usb hard drive used for backups. I tried unmounting the directory and remounting it on the server than doing a exportfs -rav It shows it exports the directory to the right ip address. However the client continues to give me the error mount.nfs.connection:connection timed out. I am at a loss to why this one directory will not mount on the client when all the other nfs directories are working fine. The usb drive is properly mounted on the server. Any ideas on what could be going on?

Alot of my nfs issues turned out to be ownership or permissions; especially since the directory in question is a usb drive. Apologies if this seems simple, just going through TS process. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
