nfs mount

Nobody's Hero — Mon, 07 Jul 2003 14:08:23 GMT

I am trying to create a share on the samba local server and connect from a different unix system.
I created a share on local server.
I tried to mount it from an alternate unix system and I get:

mount /mullet
nfs mount: get_fh: mullet:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: get_fh: mullet:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /mullet after 5 seconds
nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /mullet

### Do I need to create user mappings?
Looks like an authentication error.

my smb.cfg file looks like:

perhaps starting/restarting the portmap service will help

try a start and stop on nfs

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start

How do you expect to NFS-mount CIFS (Samba) server?
From Windows you use default remote share connection.From UNIX you'll need CIFS client.
Or (though strange) you can exportfs filesystem
from SAMBA(CIFS) server using NFS (and not both protocols simultaneously!)

HP-UX has cifs client software.Get linux samba
client here:

try a start and stop on nfs
Now the Linux Solution.

service nfs restart

Please ignore previous HP-UX response.

Doh.!

hmm... confusing.

why are you trying to export a filesystem via SMB and mount it via NFS, it wont work.

either you need smbclient on the target box or you need to export the filesystems via NFS.

Good call Bal.

The error message is not related to the samba configuration uploaded.

nfs doesn't speak samba and vice versa.

Hello!

If you try to share files between to unix kind
system don't use samba for it, use nfs.
Command mount is used to mount fs not the samba sharings.
