We had this problem. This was the fix for us. It was in some KB article on NOW but I don't have the #.
Turn on portmap and nfs
1. Verify that portmap is on for runlevel 3, 4, and 5 * chkconfig --list portmap * If not on, chkconfig --level 345 portmap on 2. Verify that nfs is on for runlevel 3, 4, and 5 * chkconfig --list nfs * If not on, chkconfig --level 345 nfs on 3. Restart the services if you changed any of them * service portmap restart * service nfs restart
Now try your NFS mount and it should mount right away.

I am new to using esx on nfs. I have create an nfs export but when I try to mount it from the esx box, it is really slow - it takes 2- 3 minutes to mount?
I assume that isn't normal, but I am not sure where to start looking for
problems. I assume it is probably doing something and then waits until a timeout occurs before proceeding with the mount. I can nfs mount the same filer / export on another box no problem (i.e. quickly)
