Hi,

Run rpc.mountd in the NFS server
Run portmap on both server and client

Hi

most of the time /tmp is already a mounted filesystem. You should not (try to) mount a fs on it again.

Hi,

On the server stop and start nfs, still no luck, get into /var/lib/nfs
and empty the etab, xtab and restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop and then start,

then try mounting
