[Devil-Linux-discuss] DL 1.4.2: no nfs mount possible

[<gat...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am still running 1.2.13 but trying to evaluate DL 1.4.2

One of the 1st big obstacles I ran into: I can't mount any NFS shares.
When I just do "mount server:/dir /somewhere" mount.nfs complains that
it either needs statd or I should disable locking.

Unfortunately neither of these possibilities work: When I add
"-o nolock", mount complains about an "incorrect mount option".
When I try to run statd (obviously only possible manually or by
starting the nfs server ..), there is no visible error but nothing
started - seemingly because statd somehow wants "/etc/netconfig".
(no idea what should be in there: I have never seen such a file on a
linux system, it also is not in the DL default configuration)

Regards,
                Peter
