[KLUG Members] Odd NFS Mount problem.

[Adam Tauno Williams]

I have an RH/SGI 7.2 NFS server that shares two things: /home and /usr/pcnet

I have an IBM AIX4.2.1 box that mounts these volumes happily as well as two
RH7.0 boxes.

However,  a BS-Ware Pro (RH7.0+) and another RH/SGI 7.2 NFS client of the exact
same vintage as the server can only mount *ONE* of the shares at a time.

If I "mount sardine:/usr/pcnet /usr/pcnet -orsize=16384,wsize=16384,nfsvers=3"
it mounts just fine...
Then if I "mount sardine:/home /home -orize=16384,wsize=16384,nfsvers=3"
the /home volume mounts and /usr/pcnet becomes a "stale" NFS handle.  

df looks like this -
sardine:/usr/pcnet           0         1         0   0% /usr/pcnet
sardine:/home          4971824   1919400   3052424  39% /home

I can then remount /usr/pcnet and it is ok, and /home becomes a stale handle....
round and round we go...

Anyone seen or heard about this?
