I tried to use FreeBSD 2.1.0 to export 2.2-960323 files, the exactly same problem happened. It looks like a very generic problem. If you cannot reproduce the problem, please send me the instruction for generating the installation code, so I can debug the problem. Other choice: If some one, (Jordan is close to us, but I know he is busy, right :-), wants to come to LBL to debug, you are welcome, and everything has been setup and is ready to go. A little more information. The FTP installation also pauses at this point for a second, and then continues. There must be some negotiation going on at this point and it is broken for NFS: ... stand/ee stand/df stand/cat stand/ls hanging -Jin P.S. ping still works and showmount shows that everything is mounted server2.1.0 # ping iss-p2 PING iss-p2.lbl.gov (128.3.196.71): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 128.3.196.71: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=18.586 ms 64 bytes from 128.3.196.71: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.940 ms ^C --- iss-p2.lbl.gov ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.940/9.763/18.586 ms server2.1.0 # showmount -e Exports list on localhost: /usr/local/src/test44.bsd 128.3.196.0 /usr/local 128.3.196.0 /usr/X11R6 128.3.196.0 server2.1.0 # showmount Hosts on localhost: iss-p2.lbl.gov others >}> I downloaded everything again this morning.
