Are you able to mount successfully if you just use the server name like below: mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.2:/ /mnt/test (in your case) > it just "sits there", never mounting. I'm also running a 11.2 RC1 and tried to mount nfs4 the way you mentioned, but I don't see the hang you're observing: mount -t nfs4 192.168.100.254:/export /mnt/nfs/ mount.nfs4: mounting 192.168.100.254:/export failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory Can you try to run mount with '-v' and post the output? > So I 1st check what's running, > > ps ax | egrep -i "idmapd|mountd|statd|nfsd|sm-notify" > 3731 ?
