It SLES/SLED10 have this probvlem, it is the whole PRODUCT KILLER. Is it
possible, that it is specifics to your installation only?
Did you tried SLED10 with SLES9 server (or with Solaris10 server, which have
excellent and proved NFS service)?
NFS is one of core things which NEVER BROKE -:), so if it is broke, it is
equivbalent to the _whole server OS is broken_.
PS. Remember my treatment of SLES10-release as _open beta_? I was 100%
right -:), unfortunately. SLES9 SP3 is very stable (but I prefer to see it
moving forward, instead of spending time with unstable and uncompatible
SLES10). SLES10 - is now _testing on the customers_ -:).
