if you face this kind of error with your remote NFS: [root@Vertica000 ~]# mount /files/application/Rremote3 mount.nfs: backgrounding "10.0.0.2:/files/application/remoteFiles" mount.nfs: mount options: "bg,hard,nointr,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,actimeo=0,vers=3,timeo=600,addr=10.0.0.2" look for the problem in the log file: cat /var/log/messages | grep mount mount to NFS server '10.0.0.2' failed: timed out, retrying Solution: In most of the cases, you have a problem with your iptables in the destination server login as root to dest server (10.0.0.2) in my case and type this command: iptables --flush the go back to your origin server to try remount the problematic NFS file system of course this is in case nfs server was installed and functioning properly. Good luck.
