mount nfs i/o error

[Nicolaï]

hello,

i'm trying to mount a remote directory (W2k with nfs server running )
on unix the command mount fail =>

#mount -F nfs srv-nas1:/unix-bases /nas1
=>nfs mount: mount_nfs: mount: /nas1: I/O error

(the nfs daemon are running and the directory on w2k is nfs shared for anonymous login...)

thanks for help !

[Geoff Wild]

How about trying to do it the other way around - see if the W2K server can nfs mount a nfs share from your HP-UX box.

mkdir /tmp/w2k

add to /etc/exports:

/tmp/w2x -rw=srv-nas1

exportfs -a

Also, is your nfs client running?

Check /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and make sure NFS_CLIENT and NFS_SERVER are set to 1

ok, the nfs client of w2k success to
map a drive on the nfs directorie
of unix (/tmp/w2k).

if you've an idea why my "mount" fail ...

( In my /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf ,NFS_CLIENT and NFS_SERVER are set to 1 )

Do you run an NFS-server on Win2k?
Which is your NFS-server?
Check NFS-server configuration.
Regards.

[Donny Jekels]

which nfs server are you running, it must work.

[Stanimir]

You have to share /unix-bases - directory
from "srv-nas1" to your unix-server
by NFS-server-configuration.

my nfs server on windows 2000 is :
Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 2.2.

this service is running and my directory
/unix-bases is shared and accept anonymous
access (uid=-2 and gid=-2) ..

Maybe that for some reasons the biod are dead.


Try stopping/restarting them on the hpux server


/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop;
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start;


Also check if they are re-started in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

it is restarted but no change ...

#mount -e -F nfs srv-nas1:/unix-bases /nas1
=>nfs mount: mount_nfs: mount: /nas1: I/O error

[Nicolaï]

mount command documentation please ?

thanks.

man 1m mount

Do you have any other boxes that you can test the nfs mount?

I wonder if you need a -o version=3 or something like that....

Rgds...Geoff

[Nicolaï]

i've tested all the possible option of
the mount command (vers=2/3,nosuid,soft ....)
but the error is always the same
=>nfs mount: mount_nfs: mount: /nas1: I/O error

i've tested in a unix SCO too and it makes
the same error (i/o error ) !!

In the log of the w2k nfs server, i see that
the mount are success all the time i do a mount on unix ...

thanks for your help !

[Nicolaï]

Sucess !!!

I've download the version 'window service for
unix 3.0' and it works ...

geoff you'was right,it was a question of version !! Send me a new message and i'll
give you points.

thanks all for the help

[Nicolaï]

it's ok geoff, i've gave you point on
your previous message ...
