Need quick NFS mount instructions

[Debbie Fleith]

Our HP 11.0 tape drive died, so we want to backup temporarily to an nfs mount. The nfs is created on a new RH5 Linux server and is accessible from other servers on the LAN. However, when I try to mount a new remote file system (/tape) in SAM using nfs from the HP-UX 11.0 server, I get an error "The command used to mount the new file system, mount(1m), has failed to mount /tape. The stderr output from the command is shown below. Permission denied"

Anyone have any suggestions?

Permission denied means source server is not configured to allow THIS server to mount the filesystem.

hmm... RH5 ? /etc/exports ? /etc/dfs/dfstab ? Not sure.

Gotta wait for the RedHat people to show up in the HPUX forum ;) (they are here, somewhere)...

... but I doubt, that the RedHat people will look inside this thread with this title ...

You should give more hints in your title and/or go to the linux forum:

On the RH5 server, what are the contents of the /etc/exports file?
