[SOLVED] Today's Update Borked NFS mounting for me

Hello!

Today's update pacman -Syu seems to have borked mounting of NFS drives mount -a -v and the command doesn't finish. These were working just fine before the update.

I've tried booting into the LTS kernel and the problem remains. I can mount these servers with samba that works fine, but I'd prefer to stick with NFS (unless you can teach me how to speed up my samba write speed!).

I'd be grateful for any help if anyone has any insight here!

Looks and sounds more like an issue w/ the server, did you try to restart that (at least the nfs and rpc daemons)?
Were there any changes on the server? Do the /etc/exports* permissions match the used IPs?

Oh you're right! Thanks! Weird. All I did was shut it down and change the circuit breaker on that server. The export permissions permissions trust anything on the network (maybe that's unsafe dunno). The IP is set by the router, so I hadn't considered it could be the server. Anyhow, Seth saves the day again, thanks!

A quick apt-get update, upgrade on that ubuntu server fixed it all. Then I could mount on the arch laptop.
