Is /mnt/stuff/linux_shared actual hard disk or is it mounted there from somewhere else? I think it has to be real estate hard disk to export successfully.

Yes it's a partition.

Just to say that we run a 22 node school lan via nfs with no problems. Our export line is:

rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,async

I've tried the rsize & wsize bits - I've found that this is essential for sharing out the portage tree ( Gentoo ) to other clients. It didn't make any difference in this case though.

Maybe worth a try. Sorry can't be more specific without more info. What distro are you using?

Gentoo server. Gentoo clients. nfs3.

I'm convinced that this is a bug in OpenOffice. I can edit files on nfs shares with other apps - AbiWord, even MS Word through VMWare with some weird host <==> client networking stuff happening. But OpenOffice refuses to open files on nfs shares. It *immediately* announces that there is an 'I/O error'.

Anyway, I'm not posting this for tech support. I'm using smbfs on all clients now. I was just posting a 'me too' response. Trust us ( me, original poster, and a score of people posting to various nfs-related bugs in the OOo bugzilla page ) - OpenOffice does not work with files on nfs shares.
