[TriLUG] Access to remote linux files and folders...

[Andrew Perrin]

Output of dmesg | grep nfs ?  If you're concerned that either the nfs 
server(s) or the automatically mounted fstabs aren't working, that would 
be the place to start. In general, the diagnostic process should be 
finding the smallest situation in which you can reproduce the problem and 
seeking to solve it in that instance, then rebuilding from there.
