problems mounting an nfs file system

admin is out today and I haven't done this job since hpux 10

Help please

#fstab on rebel:
fatboy:/pred_src /pred_src nfs rw,suid 0 0

# mount /pred_src
nfs mount: fatboy:/pred_src: Permission denied
#

Where do I start to look?

each machine is accessible in both directions
mount directory is 777

# on fatboy:
# cat exports

/softtail -anon=65534,ro
/pred_src -access=lanai:rebel
#
# cat xtab

/softtail -anon=65534,ro
/pred_src -access=lanai:rebel
#

rc.log on rebel:
Start NFS client subsystem

Re: problems mounting an nfs file system

Shalom,

as root on fatboy

showmount -e rebel

Please post.

Try taking off the -anon syntax and see if it works.

man /etc/exports to get a better handle on the options here.

OS of server and client is important. Only HP-UX 11.31 has NFS v4 capabilities at the moment.

Send a HUP signal to the rpcbind daemon on fatboy, and try again the mount..

According to the prompt, you was root on rebel as you typed the

# mount /pred_src

command. But one can never be sure, so type it as root!

Re: problems mounting an nfs file system

when HUP to rpcbind didn't do anything - I figured I was missing something obvious and since I was tired and looked at this far too long, I used SAM on fatboy to delete the exported FS and then re-export it and all was fine

Why is still a puzzle for another day
