Thank you Tom and Ed for taking the time to help. My F25 was upgraded from F24, where nfs was working perfectly (as well as in all versions before that). Here is my configuration: $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) $ rpm -q nfs-utils nfs-utils-2.1.1-5.rc3.fc25.x86_64 $ cat /etc/sysconfig/nfs | grep -v "#" LOCKD_TCPPORT=4001 LOCKD_UDPPORT=4001 RPCNFSDARGS="--udp" # note this!!!

On another machine now: > mount | grep alpha -hosts on /net/alpha/data type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=13,pgrp=1160,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,offset,pipe_ino=21376) -hosts on /net/alpha/opt type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=13,pgrp=1160,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,offset,pipe_ino=21376) yet > cd /net/alpha/opt hangs indefinitely. So does systemctl stop/start nfs-server.service on the nfs server. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
