Any idea why the first RPC calls might be failing here? A switch misconfiguration or something like that perhaps? Wasn't there a change in the way nfs mount options are handled by the kernel for nfsroot about the time of 2.6.39? Something about changing from default udp to tcp maybe? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
