Under RH 6.2, we would have to specify NFS version 2, but this
version of RH supports version 3. I would maybe look at NFS
versions to see which version each box is running.
As an aside, based on a lot of NFS use here..
I will say that you will be much happier in the long run
if you just ran Solaris x86 instead of RH 9. NFS was
and continues to be a problem on Linux. You will never get
the same NFS performance with a Linux NFS server as you
would with a Solaris box (SPARC or x86).

Hello,
I am switching my LDM machine from a Sun Solaris 8 machine to a PC running
RedHat 9. This PC will feed the data via NFS to 4 Sun Solaris 8 machines,
who in turn run GEMPAK scripts on the data and post imagery to the web. My
prior setup had the 4 Suns mounting the NFS share of another Sun and things
went well. I just made the switchover, i.e. made the PC/Redhat machine the
NFS server to the 4 Suns, and the mount went fine. The problem is, now the
GEMPAK scripts take a very long time to run on the Suns. A simple script
takes a couple minutes where it used to take 20 seconds. I am assuming that
this is because of the communication between the PC and the Suns via the NFS
mount. Are there any NFS settings I can use to make the data read faster?
Is this even the problem? Has anyone faced this problem? Any wisdom on the
situation would be helpful. Thanks!
Patrick
