Whatever it defaulted to has always worked for me up until yesterday's update to nfs-utils. Whether it was using udp or tcp has never really been a concern to me. Again, it still seems to work fine when mounting a Centos 5 fileserver. It failed with my dedicated Intel fileserver until I added the "-o proto=udp" to the mount line. (I guess I'll have to start looking into how to get that parameter into my /etc/fstab to prevent that from happening again the next time this computer gets rebooted.) Here is my note regarding how to make nfs work. I have followed these instructions on many Fedora and Centos machines and haven't seen it fail before: HOW TO SET UP A FIREWALL THAT ALLOWS NFS Create the file "/etc/sysconfig/nfs" and add the following contents: STATD_PORT=4001 LOCKD_TCPPORT=4002 LOCKD_UDPPORT=4002 MOUNTD_PORT=4003 Append the following to the file "/etc/services": rquotad 4004/tcp # rpc.rquotad tcp port rquotad 4004/udp # rpc.rquotad udp port Restart the nfs services >From there, open these ports -> 111:tcp, 111:udp, 2049:tcp, 2049:udp, 4001:tcp, 4001:udp, 4002:tcp, 4002:udp, 4003:tcp, 4003:udp, 4004:tcp, 4004:udp -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
