Re: NFS mounting timeout

Hi Pawel,
I use rom file system as a root fs. When I try to mount nfs in my root
fs an error occurs.
(mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/nfs /nfs)
After about 2 minutes kernel writes: "portmaper: time out".
What I should do?
Check if the portmapper is running (both sides, server AND client), if
not start it (usually /sbin/portmap).

I really don't use portmap on the client side. (my rom fs is small)
But there is possibe to mount and use nfs root fs without portmaper!
Today I set NFS_MOUNT_NONLM option (kenel doesn't call locked_up()
/fs/nfs/inode.c), but I'm not sure, that everything will be work OK ?
Thanks for help
