NFS sharing

BrianDoyle — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:34:55 GMT

Hi,

Cant get an NFS directory to share to multiple clients.
Can anyone point out where Im gone wrong,pls.

Thanks.

dfstab has:
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o rw=client1 /shared
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o rw=client2 /shared

After i do "shareall"

Create a mountpnt on client and mount it.
Doesnt mount, just hangs. I use FQDN.

Shalom,

Lets see the servers /etc/exports file.

Thats the probably source of NFS share problems if in deed this is the problem here.

SEP,
This is 11.31 and using /etc/dfs/dfstab

Briano,
The above would rw to client1 and read-mostly to all others.

Check your hostnames.

I typicall would list all hostnames in access=host1:host2:host3 etc...

Not something like this?

/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o rw=client1:client2 /shared

man share

I don't believe that "share" commands
accumulate for a particular pathname. The
new one replaces the old one.

/usr/sbin/showmount -e

How? On which client? What is "client"?

Where?

Thanks guys for teh quick responses.
In the end I shared it to all clients. I see from the last post that I should have a colon ":" seperating clients. i was using a comma.

thanks to all.
