Hi,
I guess i figured out the solution and the problem too
http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif ...
I added the option 'hard' when mounting and even though i still get the msg as before, ie server not responding, but after sometime the program resumes. Earlier the program used to exit.
I tried the following..
mount -t nfs 192.168.4.9:/ext_disk/home/sony /mnt/nfs -o nolock,hard,rsize=1024,wsize=1024
The problem appears to be in the fact that the device I was trying to mount was on a machine running on Solaris and the nfs version was not ver 3. I havent used a linux machine for the same but I am sure I will be able to solve my problem.
fmcmurra : I guess the "proto=tcp" option is for the case when we use nfs ver 4. Still thanx for your reply.
