This problem is solved now! It was a small typo in /etc/fstab ... colon instead of a point. :-/ However, the error messages still appear, although the system comes up (after a long amount of time...) > I 've got the following in /var/log/messages: > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Jun 16 06:17:22 myclient kernel: RPC: sendmsg returned error 51 Any hints?? And ... Does anybody know how to create a "fifo" device file over NFS? >From the newsgroups I read, several people still have problems with this- but there doesn't seem to be a solution. Or am I only bad at searching? :-) The server is a Sun running Solaris 2.6, the client is also a Sun, running Debian linux 2.1. All client's filesystems are imported via NFS (no local disk). Oh, and can anybody provide me with hints on how to create a swapfile which will be (also) mounted via NFS? Can you give me a sample entry for /etc/fstab?
