Hi. I am using a notebook to share a debian mirror via a nfs mount. However the bootup of the notebook has become very slow, due to a 2minute 40 second 'pause' in the script S20nfs-kernel-server in /etc/rc2.d while the program /sbin/exportfs -r is run. I am booting up not connected to the network.
What is causing this timeout? I think that dns may be screwed up on the system... i know this cause I had to add the explicit ip addresses of device on the network to /etc/hosts to avoid a 10 second timeout for ssh between other systems and the notebook. I am struggling to understand cacheing nameservers. Of course my nfs - exportfs issues may be unrelated to my dns issues :). I just may be a multifactorial newbie/screwup here. :) Mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
