   nfs problem with tumbleweed   
   09 Dec 17 12:36:59   
   
   From: grinch@somewhere.com   
      
   I have just rebuilt ( Vanilla install/formatted  disk) my 42.3 laptop   
   with tumbleweed and nfs fails.   
      
   The laptop worked nfs on 42.3 but it does not with tumbleweed the below   
   is from my fstab and works just fine on my 42.3 desktop and the laptop   
   when it was on 42.3.   
      
   192.168.1.6:/volume1/homes	/mnt	nfs  defaults 0 0   
      
   The only issue I could find via google mentioned using an IP address not   
   a hostname which I have never done, to fix the issue.   
      
   If I attempt to mount it manually as root I get   
      
   myhostname:~ # mount -a 192.168.1.6:/volume1/homes/ NFS defaults 0 0   
      
   mount.nfs: mount system call failed   
      
   localhost:~ #   
      
   I decided to conduct a small experiment and rebuilt the laptop with 42.3   
   nfs worked with above fstab just fine   
      
   One last thing the server is an old synology DS209 11 and only runs nfs   
   v3 and cant be upgraded I have checked.   
      
   Can anybody point me in the right direction please I like the idea of a   
   rolling distro but I have to have nfs working  for backups.
