You should correct your NFS-Setup! I use on the Server side: +---[ '/etc/exports' ]------------------------------------------ | | /home *.private.tdnet.net(rw,no_root_squash,async,insecure) | +--------------------------------------------------------------- and on the Client side: +---[ '/etc/fstab' ]-------------------------------------------- | | samba3.private.tdnet.net:/home /home nfs rw,bg,hard,int | r,tcp,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 | +--------------------------------------------------------------- There are no problems transfering files >18 GByte from my three Workststions to the NFS-Server.
