Both boxes are currently running unstable.
i don't have problems with mutt and nfs, other then it not detecting new mail in my marked mailboxes very consistently (i think this is a meta data caching issue) i have verified that locking works correctly on my nfs setup. you should not use kernels older then 2.2.18 on either server or client, and you must run lockd and statd. verify that they are running and things should work correctly. also you should use NFSv3, which you may have to enable experimental options in your kernel config to see. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
