Peter - as it happens I just wiped out FC2 on my home system last
weekend and installed FC3. There are a lot of changes in the way FC2 and
3 use the Ext2/3 file systems as they (or at least FC3) have options
tuned on for ACL's on files (to support the built-in SELinux kernel
extension) - Windows utilities like Partition Magic and Ghost with
Ext2fs capability can no longer support FC2/3 partitions and I am not
surprised that NFS has slightly broken!
Are you saying that this problem seems to have gone away in FC3?
