Re: nfs newbie
Oddly enough, I have that same problem earlier today. Basically, make sure that you account for the reverse of each domain. Also, in the exportfs file, the server name you are putting in should be the client or the server that is going to mount the file system on (in this, A). Like so: On server A - /backup -rw=10.0.81.115:serverb.net,anon=0,root=10.0.81.115:serverb.net,access=10.0.81.115:serverb.net On server B - mount servera:/backup /mnt/backup (it will assume that it is a remote server with that format).

192.168.0.106:/main /mnt/Fileserver2nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 I tried lowering and raising the r/wsize options with no success.

Wait, that's not entirely correct. I don't want to mislead you, but I have used both NFS mounted and Samba mounted file system to play MP3. All works fine. In both case, the server is Linux. The client are Lin and Win, and in linux I've used both samba and nfs with no problem. I am not sure what cause your problem, since I am not very verse at NFS myself.

Okay, the next question is why?

Assuming equal network speed for all on the same net, why is this not enough RAM?

NFS has too much overhead. I would rather look into streaming via HTTP (apache). or an open source streaming solution. Saqib Ali - http://www.xml-dev.com On Fri, 18 Jul 2003, G.
