Hi All,

I am having a problem with the Openoffice.org suite and am guessing it has something to do with NFS.

I am using NFS to mount my home dir, and Writer it will hang as soon as you (for example) remove the ruler check from the document interface.

When using another account with an local/"on disk" home dir there is no problem.

Something similar occurs with aMule, it is unable to write a lock file.

Are there any special options needed by NFS to export or mount the directory.

My current export and mount lines are:

/* /etc/exports */
/home/i2a 192.168.0.21(rw,sync)

/* /etc/fstab */
192.168.0.254:/home/i2a /home/i2a nfs rw,retrans=3,intr,noac

Thanks and regards,
Ingmar

Are you running rpc.statd on both machines? Are there any firewalls/netfilters that might get in the way of the NLM and NSM protocols?
