New install, new problems. :cry:
I reinstalled Arch on my server today. I setup NFS, exported a few dirs and started copying files back and forth.
With my Debian client, I get 50MBit/s over my 100MBit LAN when I copy files to the server. It's a Celeron 466 so I guess that's a fair speed. The load on the server during these ops is typically less than 0.05 (>1.00 on the client tho).
When I copy files from the server to my other (Arch) box, I get the full 100MBits! But, when I copy from this client to the server, nothing happens. Sometimes I can copy @ 5KBit/s, mostly the cp process just hangs.
This used to work fine before the reinstall tho. :?:
All the links are set to 100MBit Full-duplex.
Where do I look now?

I've got exported a directory on my nfs-server, which I can mount flawlessly on my client. However, df shows me an incorrect size and the mount only contains the top directories. There aren't any files.
/music on nfs-server

On the server it's not.
I don't get this. :?:

do you get nfs timeout errors by typing dmesg in an other console?
i have such a problem on old laptops with pcmcia cards.

No, I don't get any timeouts.
When I try to umount the share on the client, I do get this tho: [/
Bad UMNT RPC: RPC: Program/version mismatch; low version = 3, high version = 3
umount: /stuff/shared/mp3: device is busy
Bad UMNT RPC: RPC: Program/version mismatch; low version = 3, high version = 3
umount: /stuff/shared/mp3: device is busyMan, this is strange.
[edit]
Forgot to close a window before umounting. :oops:

I used Samba to export the same dir and it works flawlessly. I'd rather use NFS for exporting to Linux-boxes tho.

Switched to Debian Sarge because I suspected my Arch i586 being flaky, but the problem stays! WTF?!

I found out why won't work, ever! I'm exporting /export. In /export, I have various other mounts.
Everything works, apart from the mounts in /export: they show up empty on the clients. I have to export every mount-point explicitly.
Isn't there a possibility to just export /export and all its submounts?

When I force the mount to use version 3 of NFS and sync (I exported the shares with the sync-option), I can now steadily write to the server. I'm only getting half the network speed: ~ 5MB/s.
I tried mounting it as nfs4, but apparently the nfsd4 is still a bit buggy.
