Nightmare file system (NFS)

start here:

/etc/fstab

 foohost:/export/data /mnt nfs tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,rw,bg,nosuid,noauto

NFS shares get stale after a while or don't mount at all

This might be caused by the fact that the server really wants to have portnumbers below 1024 for the session. Adding insecure to the exports-file fixes that. Example:

 /home	somehost(rw,insecure)
