I'm running 5.4-STABLE (about two weeks old), and have just set up an

The symptoms are that "showmount -e" sez
showmount: can't do exports rpc
and that "rpcinfo -u <host> mountd" often works fine n times in a row,
and then stops working, like so:
Turns out that mountd seems to be trying to do reverse DNS
lookups, and when those block, the whole process locks up. I don't
understand why, though: the servers listed in /etc/exports are by IP.
Any ideas?
NFS is twitchy in a lot of ways, you've found one of them. IME, it's easier
all the way around for clients and server to have entries for each other in
/etc/hosts.
