Hi.

I am trying to mount a Linux NFS volume onto a Solaris 2.5.1 workstation.
I am able to mount the volume and do an `ls' on the mount point and things
work fine.

However, if I try and read a large file from the NFS volume, I whole
operation will hang at a particular point into the transfer.

Are there any known problems with Linux NFS and Solaris?

Thanks,
Ben

I've had similar problems mounting SGI volumes on Solaris machines. In this 
case the problem seems to be with Sun since I can mount SGI volumes on HP and
Linux machines.

I have had problems with some revs of Linux's mountd. The symptoms of this
are that mountd core dumps when trying to mount from HP machines. This is
solved by getting a later rev of mountd.

You haven't given any version information.

IIRC, the NFS support is going to be rewritten for 2.2 (2.1?).


FWIW, I've had no problems with 2.0.31 NFS and Digital Unix, IRIX or
Solaris 2.5.1
