Re: Can't mount nfs filesystem

Yes, you are right. the mount command works anyway. I also tried Mogens' 
suggestion about the 'nolock' and that stops the errors (except the first 
warning) and makes the mount command go a lot quicker (instantly instead of 
about two minutes).

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
