In all cases, you need to either:

1. Provide the option "nolock" to turn of NFS file locking (which means
   that things like elm can't lock mailboxes and will get upset if the
   mailboxes are on a NFS partition).

2. before running the mount command:
   a) make sure the loopback interface is up and running
   b) ensure that the portmapper (called portmap or rpc.portmap) is
      running.
