I'm at a loss to explain what's happening (or not happening). Anyone have any ideas?
Edit:
I have been digging around a bit further and somehow missed the complaints from the kernel in /var/log/syslog that portmap wasn't started locally.
Code:
Jan 15 12:12:11 maxdata kernel: RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5).
Jan 15 12:12:11 maxdata kernel: lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-5
Jan 15 12:12:46 maxdata kernel: portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
**feels like a right fool..**

Reason: Solution! - YMMV
Do you the nfs server and portmap service started on the server? See the howto at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/server.html to check and make sure everything is running ok.
try using the -o nolock option from the nfs mount command
I'm having the same problem as the rest here, but the command above works for me too "Thanks Obourdon", but if i want to add the mount to fstab how can i do that?
if i edit the /etc/fstab and add this entry
nfsrvr:/main /content/html nfs noauto,user,rw 0 0
it doesnt mount it on the next reboot, so i need to add the -o nolock but not sure how to do that in fstab.
