Very Computer

I'm using the NFS program and often I get an error saying

"Error: failed to monitor <IP ADDRESS>"

I get this several times....

I mounted the /var/spool/mail directory and the /home directory

Any help on how to fix this would be great, thanks in advance

It is said to be because statd or lockd are not running ...
I believe they both need to run on the server and the lockd
on the client.

However having said that I have a diskless client and I kept getting
that despite having both running, and only fix was to mount with
option nolock ....

I dont know if it is connected but some appns seem to want to use
flock and some fcntl but nfs only supports fcntl (and I'm not sure
that works either).

(my sys is rh6.1)
