Has anybody seen this nfs problem?

[Eric Ladner]

Here's the problem:

(rimer)/# mkdir /tmp/dbp
(rimer)/# mount -F nfs remote:/public /tmp/dbp
nfs mount: mount_nfs: mount: /tmp/dbp: No such file or directory

Showmount -e on remote shows /public (everyone).

Any mount point seems to do the same thing (/x, /dbp, etc.)

Hi,

The directory /tmp/dbp does not exist on the local system. I mean the mount point does not exist on the local system.

Hope this helps.

# mount -F nfs remote:/public /tmp/dbp

should be

# mount -F hfs remote:/public /tmp/dbp
or
# mount -F vxfs remote:/public /tmp/dbp

Hi,

Try this:

# mount remote:/public /tmp/dbp

Hi Eric,

Try,

mount remote:/public /tmp/dbp

Hope this helps.

I take it back, you don't need to use -F option in your case. So disregard my previous answer.

[Eric Ladner]

# mount remote:/public /tmp/dbp
nfs mount: mount_nfs: mount: /tmp/dbp: No such file or directory

Interestingly enough:

# ls /net/other_remote
var

# ls /net/remote
/net/remote not found

Problems on the remote server?

Have you doublechecked perms & ownership on /tmp/dbp as well as /tmp?

Remember that if no x perm on the dir no files can be executed OR read & mount checks for process bound files in dir prior to mounting.
