Re: NFS mounting timeout

Hi again,

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 ?

You could try:
'mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/nfs /nfs -o nolock' to disable the lockd
accesses. I'm not quite sure about the impacts. At least you can not
rely on file locking anymore... ;-). With this option you should be able
to mount nfs without the portmapper and without recompiling.
