Mount NFS problem

Achilles_2 — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 21:49:36 GMT

I ran the command "mount server:/dir_name /dir_name" to mount nfs to my local host but it failed. The reason is "Permission denied". So I checked the permission rights in both side are correct. I don't know what's wrong?
Do anyone help me to solve?

Hi Achilles,

I want these answered.

1) The hostname on which you want to mount.
2) As what user u are trying to mount.
3) The content of the /etc/exports file on
nfs server. Atleast there sould be a
entry for the filesystem which u are
mounting remotely. Please produce the
content of /etc/exports file here.
4) rpcinfo -p output.

Regards,
Senthil

From server end, they have to give permission to NFS client to mount the File system?

Check from server as,

# exportfs -v
# cat /etc/exports

Is permission to the client given?

hth.

Shalom Achilles,

nfs.core and nfs.client need to have succesfully started on the client as well.

Thanks you for your help.
The problem is solved out.
I just create the file /etc/exports, then exportfs the directoy.
