Nfs Problems. Mount To Nfs Failed

Hi All,

After servers crashed, and restarted my NFS stopped working.

Everything was configured well and worked. Now I can not mount the remote directory.

On the server I have NFS server running on the client, clienys are running, but when i restart nfs it takes a long time to start the service. Once started the directory in mount point is empty.

I tried manual mount but get an error
mount: mount to NFS server 192.168.0.18 failed: time out

I can ping the server OK.

When I tried to do via YaST then after a while (long time starting services) I get an error:

Unable to mouont the NFS entries from /etc/fstab

fstab has an entry:
192.168.0.18:/mnt/test /mnt/test nfs defaults 0 0

rpc looks Ok and I have the lines with
/usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd
/usr/sbin/rpc.stsd
usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

I am puzzled what can it be?

Please help, Thabks in advance!

1. what abt the server/client logs </var/log/messages> ? any clues
2. consistency of /etc/exports in server
3. is there a firewall inbetween server/client .. nfs port could hav been blocked ??

Thanks for suggestions rssrik.
I tried all sort, In the end I simply reinstalled the NFS server and all just worked as before
I guess should have done it first
