Is the mounts on the AIX, HP-UX and Linux done also via TCP ?
It might lead you to the fact that the mount over TCP just takes some more time to finish.

Just a suggestion,
Eyal.

Why TCP by the way ?  Did you check UDP ?

Subject: Automount fails on first attempt on Solaris


Hi!

I have a problem with automount on Solaris. The problem appears on both
Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 8.
On the first attempt to access any directory located on the filer the
automount request times out but on the second attempt it mounts the
directory. It takes 15 seconds to mount the directory. All other mounts
after the first one has been mounted works fine.
This behaviour appears everytime I try to access a directory after the
automounter has released all mounts.
Automount works just fine on AIX, HP-UX, Linux when accessing the same
directories.

We use NFS version 3 and NFS over TCP is enabled on the filer.
We have OnTap 5.3.6R2 installed on the filer.

Any suggestions?
