Mounting NetWare volume from SUSE Linux 9.1

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Q:
I'm having trouble mounting a NetWare 6 volume from SUSE Linux 9.1. Any ideas?

A:
A change was made to NFS Client in SUSE Linux 9.1. The default protocol for NFS was UDP prior to this version, and now it is TCP.

Add "udp" to the options field of the mount command line so that it looks like this:
mount server:/src/dri /dest/dir -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,udp

Or, if using YaST to configure the NFS Client, add udp to the options field for the mount.
