Hi, Many Ubuntu users seem to be experiencing such problems on ubuntu-2.6.17 kernels: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/62308 In my experience, everything works fine as long as all directory-elements in the path on the nfs mount are set executable for user _and_others_. If that is not the case, files are available for about five seconds after the first access, after which they disappear. If I try to access the file again I get a "permission denied" message. No messages get logged. For me, adding the "no_subtree_check" option in /etc/exports 'fixed' the problem. I'm on ubuntu-2.6.17-11-generic on amd64. This works for me: /home 192.168.22.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,mp=/home,fsid=12120) /scratch 192.168.22.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,mp=/scratch,fsid=12121) Anyhow, you did not give any information about your distro/kernel/hardware?
