I've indeed switched our through-firewall-nfsservers to NFSv4 and the problems are gone. Thanks a lot for pointing me there! I only open port 2049/tcp and everything works. However, I still see blocked connections on the firewall, coming from the NFS client to the NFS server: ...PROTO=TCP SPT=55598 DPT=111... rpcinfo tells me the portmapper is running at port 111 (udp and tcp). I didn't find a clear statement when googling if that should happen with NFSv4 or not. It doesn't seem to block the NFS share in any way, at least as far as I can see. I wouldn't mind to open tcp port 111 to the NFS server. I'm just curios if that behaviour is correct or not with NFSv4. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
