[BusyBox] NFS mounting problems

[Jason Bodnar]

I'm using busybox-0.60.2 compiled against uClibc-0.9.9 with a 2.4.17 kernel.

Here are the relevant settings in uClibc Config:

$ grep -i -C2 nfs Config 

# If you want to include RPC support, enable this.  RPC is almost never used 
# for anything except NFS support, so unless you plan to use NFS, leave this
# disabled.  This is off by default.
INCLUDE_RPC = true

And from busybox Config.h:

$ grep -i nfs Config.h 
// Enable support for mounting remote NFS volumes. 
#define BB_FEATURE_NFSMOUNT

I can ping the machine hosting the NFS exported filesystem from the client
without a problem.

When I do:

$ mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.1.4:/home/jbodnar/mp3 /mnt

it sits for a second and gives the following error:

nfs: server 192.168.1.4 not responding, still trying

and then it just sits there thinking.

On the server side I get the following in /var/log/messages:

Feb 13 01:16:56 home rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
192.168.1.99:618 for /home/jbodnar/mp3 (/home/jbodnar/mp3)

and then nothing else nfs/rpc related.

Thank you,

Jason Bodnar
