mehul_3 — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 08:12:01 GMT

I want to mount remote file system with /dev/vg01/lvol1 giving following command
mount -F vxfs 10.162.185.7:/dev/vg01/lvol2 /n01 but confronted with following error
mount: /n01: No such file or directory.

Could somebody please hassle free way to resolve the issue.

Hi Mehul,

server 10.162.185.7

/dev/vg01/lvol2 /n01
# cat /etc/exports
check if above filesystem (/n01)is the exports file.

Serverb

mkdir /no1
mount -F nfs 10.162.185.7:/no1 /no1

You need to setup nfs on 10.162.185.7 and export the directory that /dev/vg01/lvol2 is mounted on. also does the directory /n01 exist?

also don't use -F vxfs, this option can only be applied to local mount ..
so use -F nfs, even it's not really needed ..

Don't mount the remote LV volume, but the remote mount point of this LV

Export on the remote side (NFS server) the directory to tour NFS client

On the client, create the directory on which you are going to mount the remote dir ...

mkdir /dir2
mount xx.yy.zz.ww:/dir1 /dir2
cd /dir2
ls

Hi Mehul,

1. check if your nfs is configured.

2. add the entry of the directory you want to mount in the /etc/exports file on the remote server.

3. do exportfs -a

4. mount the file system. also there isn't any need to use the -F option with mount. it works perfectly fine without it.

Hi Mehul,

# vi /etc/exports
/n01 -rw -root=[remote_host]
:wq

# /usr/sbin/exportfs -a

On remote_host

# mkdir /n01
# mount -F nfs 10.162.185.7:/n01 /n01

I created a new exports file but could not able to save whatever you have suggested to enter text. One doubt I want to clear that in text you suggest to enter [remote_host].So, should I enter remote hostname as a [srsux004] or simply srsux004.

Mehul

Robert-Jan Goossens_1 — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 05:56:31 GMT

srsux004

# vi /etc/exports
n01 -rw -root=srsux004
:wq!
# exportfs -a

Hi Mehul,

This should work fine.

# vi /etc/exports
n01 -root=srsux004 #root access to srsux004
:wq!
# exportfs -a

when I tried to mount file system using following commnad
mount -F nfs -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768 10.162.185.7:/arch /u01
I got error message "permission denied"

Robert-Jan Goossens_1 — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 08:20:14 GMT

(Note: entry in exports
/u01 rw-root=srsux004)

Try this one

/u01 -rw access=srsux004,root=srsux004
exportfs -a

Dear RJ

you have only one network interface??

try to share to all for test:

vi /etc/exports
/n01 -rw
:wq!

if NFS server is not started, start it on nfs server:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

on clilent, retry to mount using ip addr not the name of the server, for ex:

mount -F nfs 10.10.10.10:/n01 /n01

bye

other question!!:
if you export on nfs server (10.162.185.7) /u01
on the client youmust mount what you share.
You must mount /u01 like this:

mount -F nfs 10.162.185.7:/u01 /u01
