NFS: progress bar doesn't work during file uploads

Hi!

I am having a very weird problem with a remote NFS mount on my laptop. When I download (copy from) a file from that mount, everything works just fine. However, when I try to upload (copy to) a file whatever program I use (dolphin in KDE, mc in a shell) the progress bar just doesn't work. It usually stays at 0% and at some point jumps to 100%, but even then the file transfer hasn't finished and I have to wait some more. This is very frustrating, and since I need to use that NFS share for large file transfers daily, it became so much of a problem that I have now to rely on samba, which is kind of weird since I'm in an all-Linux network.

To make things even more strange, this behavior doesn't take place when transferring files (with mc) from another computer I have, which makes me think that the problem is in the laptop configuration. The mount options are the same on both computers, and the only difference I can see is that my laptop (where progress doesn't work) is on a wireless network, while both the NFS server and the other computer on a wired one.

Here's an excerpt from the mount command on the laptop:

htpc:/mnt on /mnt/htpc type nfs4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=262144,wsize=262144,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.2.1,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.2.2)
htpc:/mnt/data2 on /mnt/htpc/data2 type nfs4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=262144,wsize=262144,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.2.1,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.2.2)

While this is the /etc/exports on the server:

/mnt    192.168.0.1/255.255.0.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,crossmnt,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=100)

Any idea of what could be causing this?

Thank you!

Re: NFS: progress bar doesn't work during file uploads

Got the same Problem...

I hope someoneś finding the cause of that behaviour.

Hereś my fstab:

# Qnap-Mounts - NFS
192.168.0.2:/Becker		/media/Becker 	nfs 	rw,vers=3,user,noatime,soft,tcp,nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768		0 0
192.168.0.2:/bumichael		/media/Backup 	nfs 	rw,vers=3,user,noatime,soft,tcp,nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768		0 0
192.168.0.2:/Musik		/media/Musik 	nfs 	rw,vers=3,user,noatime,soft,tcp,nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768		0 0
192.168.0.2:/Filme		/media/Filme 	nfs 	rw,vers=3,user,noatime,soft,tcp,nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768		0 0
192.168.0.2:/Download		/media/Download nfs 	rw,vers=3,user,noatime,soft,tcp,nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768		0 0

Thanks in advance
