Sorry, I intended the subject to make that clear, the client is CentOS-5 the server
FC16. The message appears on the CentOS5 client. The same server and data works on
clients running FC9, FC10, FC13, RHEL-6, and I believe (ie. I'm told but haven't
personally tested) OpenBSD works as well.
This is the only machine which stopped working when the NFS server was updated, and
of course it's the internal web server. :-(
The good news is....I was able to duplicate your problem. The bad news is...I'm
unable to find a solution....
The "good" news is *everyone* seems to have the problem....
