NFS Server Not Responding

Incase you are able to connect to the NFS server, and able to mount using , for example ,say :

mount -t nfs -o nolock 10.88.27.76:/home/jayant /mnt

And are further able to access the FS as well (able to view directories and files), but any attempt to try and execute or access any big file (like "insmod"ing a kernel object, or executing helloworld executable) results in the heinous "NFS server not responding" error,i.e., something like the following:

nfs: server 10.88.27.76 not responding, still trying

,then try to increase the rsize to the maximum permissible value (in my case, 8192 bytes)...This might help...So, instead of cmd1, try the following command to mount :

mount -t nfs -o nolock,rsize=8192 10.88.27.76:/home/jayant /mnt
