I have a linux box doing the exports and my laptop running Mac OS X. I would get lots of sporatic data loss, and permision denied and access from insecure port errors. I solved my problem by changing the export line something like this: /path/to/export host1,host2(ro,no_root_squash,async) to /path/to/export host1,host2(insecure,ro,no_root_squash,async) By default the nfs server rejects requests to all ports > 1024 and the apple was sending its requests in the 49xxx range. I suppose you would see those errors in your logs if, in fact, that was the problem you are having. Do your logs have any useful information on why it is refusing the request? -- Linux Administrator || Technology Specialist || Wifi Engineer http://autonomous.tv/~spencer/resume/ || spencer at autonomous.tv Key fingerprint = 173B 8760 E59F DBF8 6FD2 68F8 ABA2 AB08 49C7 4754 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
