- Do you get this everytime you attempt to mount (even after rebooting)? If a
- remote system you have mounted reboots, you must unmount and then re-mount any
- volumes on that system.

- If nothing has changed at either end, then I suspect that something has changed
- in the middle. I know of one case where a gateway of some sort was overwhelmed
- by heavy traffic. I think that their solution was to reduce maximum NFS packet
- size (see your manual, I don't have one handy -- I think it is "maxread" or
- something like that).

-
- Showmount shows which volumes a machine is willing to export and to whom. It
- does not show which volumes are actually mounted.
