[hide]Mount hangs
Symptoms
mount command hangs or takes a very long time to complete:
# mount <ip address>:/pub /data (...hangs here...)
Reasons
- Lockd is not running on the NFS server
- Portmap is not running on the NFS client
- Networking is broken (e.g. scripts brought up default route but not IP address yet)
Solution
Two options are possible:
- run lockd on the server
- mount with nolock option
