Are you making sure to tell mount to use NFS version 2? Your mount
command should probably look something like this:
mount -o nfsvers=2,port=3049,intr localhost:/.cfsfs /crypt
Without that nfsvers=2, you're asking for trouble. :)
In any case, CFS is not perfect. There does seem to be something
buggy in its inode handling and reporting, because I am getting
messages like this all day long:
nfs_refresh_inode: inode 636620 mode changed, 0100664 to 0120777
nfs_refresh_inode: inode 636620 mode changed, 0100664 to 0120777
nfs_refresh_inode: inode 636614 mode changed, 0100664 to 0120777
nfs_refresh_inode: inode 636614 mode changed, 0100664 to 0120777
However, I am using CFS with RedHat 7.3, and have been using it since
installing RedHat 7.1 many moons ago. It seems stable, and it's not
too slow.
