We have tried all kinds of combinations of QNX client to Linux server,
and they have all failed in one way or another. We have tried Linux
kernels from 2.0.35 to 2.2.12, user and kernel space NFS
implementations, and QNX TCP/IP stacks 4.24, 4.25, and 5 beta. Our
conclusion has been that there is no reliable way to have a QNX NFS
client talk to a Linux NFS server. For what it’s worth, we suspect
Linux and QNX about equally on this one. The Linux NFS implementation
has always been really flakey.
Linux client to QNX server appears to work. Go figure.
How totally bizarre. I have never had even the slightest problem getting QNX client to work with a Linux server; however, I have not once had even the slightest glimmer of life out of a Linux client to QNX server connection; in fact, the Linux kernel dumps as soon as an attempt is made to write to a file on the QNX server !

If this wasn’t so annoying it would be
funny.
I’ve had a QNX server running with a linux client for months without too many
problems.
For the record I’m running Mandrake 7.1, the 2.2.15 kernel.
The only annoyance I have is that when editing files with a Linux based
editor, it always complains that the file on disk has changed when I try to
save. So I think they have an issue with file modification time stamps, but
aside from that it works. The clocks are synched via ntp, so that’s not a
factor.
Here’s my QNX info:

That said, my QNX client won’t work:
//8/mnt/rex/home> mount rex:/home/bedge $PWD/bedge
Mount RPC error on rex:/home/bedge: Permission denied
Yet I can mount this from other Linux boxes, my linux exports is:
[bedge@rex tmp]$ cat /etc/exports
/home/bedge louie(rw,no_root_squash) dmonitor(rw,no_root_squash)
/usr louie(rw,no_root_squash) dmonitor(rw,no_root_squash)
/etc louie(rw,no_root_squash) dmonitor(rw,no_root_squash)
dmonitor is a linux box which can mount rex:/home/bedge. louie is the QNX
box.
