Well, I wish I could say I have an authoritative answer on what caused it, but I can no longer reproduce the problem. I've tried the same thing with the following mount options, all of which work fine: vers=2,proto=udp vers=3,proto=udp vers=3 vers=3,proto=udp,noac (no options) At this point, I have to assume some other system and/or network anomoly was causing the problem. If I can reproduce and resolve the symptoms, I'll re-summarize. Thanks to the following folks for their suggestions: Scott Croft(?) - force vers=3 Stephen Reppucci - concern over the Linux NIC Sean McAvoy - lower the R/W sizes Randy Schrickel - network concerns -J.
