Mounting NFS using mount

[Oswald_3]

Hi,

I'm trying to mount a drive present on a linux box onto my hpux box. I used the mount command as
mount serv:/home/user1/reports /home/user1/reports

it just stays hung. Possible reasons are
1) It didn't ask for a username
2) I haven't created a share on the linux box.

Any ideas on this?

Is the rpc service running on Linux?

Is the directories being exported from the Linux?


Mostly it is the rpc not running

From hp-ux bos
showmount -e "linux_system"
Is the required FS exported?? Is it allowed to mount??

rpcinfo -p "linux_system"
Is rpcbind running??

Hi,

type

$exportfs on the linux and see wther you FS is exported

type

$mount or more /etc(mnttab on your hp-ux and see wther it is mounted.

Otherwise you have to export your fs with the exportfs command or/and mount it with
mount -F nfs REMOTEFS LOCALFS

If you need more detailed help about the syntax please ask!

BR,

Oliver
