NFS problem -- just doesn't work

[Patrice Bouchand]

Hello,

Maybe your problem is the same than mine, take a look to the following links:
http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2007-December/021898.html

Which version of util-linux are you using ? 

        Best regards.
       
              Patrice
