NFS client . Linux NFS server

Hi.. trying to use a HP applications cd mounted on a Linux box to install to a HP NFS client. I can mount the directory, it shows that its mounted using bdf, but I cant get a file listing. Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong? thanks.

Hi John,

Check the NFS exported permissions. You may not have the required permission to read it. Also check for local permissions too.

HTH,

well I set them in the /etc/exports file as (ro) because it was a cd drive..
that should be correct.. thanks though..

Hi,

what file system type is mounted on the Linux- CD-ROM? Mostly they use ISO9660, this could cause your problems. CD is mounted, but HP uses different CD- ROM- filesystem! Find out this first....

Allways stay on the bright side of life!

Nope that's not it..
I actually got it to work.. was able to use it to run swinstall and install a program on a remote client.. but now I can't seem to recall the EXACT mount command options I used to get it to work.. so I feel extremely stupid..
It has to do with the +F file type i think.. I've tried +F nfs and that is what I think I did yesterday late and it worked, but now I can't duplicate it, and I don't find much that's helpful in the man pages..
thanks though!!!
