mount.nfs: backgrounding

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.
