I found a problem with the NFS server in Mageia 1 which doesn't seem

Although everything worked the first time, when the server was first
set up, it has consistently failed to work since then. The personal
firewall doesn't make any difference so it can be on or off. It seems
to be a problem with the way rpc.mountd works. The Mandriva versions
of nfs server may not use this method to handle remote mount requests
- like I said, I'll check.
Are you also using dhcp? dhcp and nfsv4 are not a good combination and
will often cause problems on reboot. Also there was an nfs mount at boot
bug I filed in Fedora that had to do with the change in the boot
routines, but I haven't had that issue with Mageia.
I can dodge the problem by commenting out the
RPCMOUNTD_OPTIONS="--port 4003" line in the /etc/sysconfig/nfs-server
configuration file.
Curious. That seems more likely to be a firewall issue, but I would
expect that whatever default port it used instead of 4003 would be
blocked also and you said the firewall status didn't make a difference.
I don't have any current problems with nfs but I also have a highly
customized way of setting up my network/boxes so you can't really go by me.
Best wishes, Jeff
