Description jrd 2000-11-24 20:40:01 UTC
Netlab6 is FreeBSD 4.2, netlab4 is the NetWare 5.1 file server exporting
/SYS/anonftp. Solaris8 and UnixWare 7.1.1 and Caldera Linux 2.4 all
mount this with no problem. Note that Caldera Linux does mount v2 udp
calls no matter what, sigh.
 Mount_nfs is not picking up the fact that the exporting server is
not offering mounting over tcp, and instead FBSD gets stuck trying
over and over.
 I might mention in passing that the code for mount_nfs has section
near the end where mount version is switch/case'd on 1 and 3 but
no mention is made of 2 and default. This may be fine, but it looks
incomplete at first glance.
 Below is the screen dialogue illustrating the problem.

How-To-Repeat: Mounting is from a NetWare 5.1 file server.

Could you try a more recent FreeBSD release? There were quite a few 
changes made to mount_nfs since 4.2, so the issue may be resolved.
