Do you have anything mounted on that mount point?? From linux box showmount -e "hp-ux server" showmount or linux equivalent of that.

Hi,

as I know, there was no support for NFS over TCP in HP-UX 10.20.

Are the NFS versions on linux and HP same?? As you are on 10.20, from linux you will have to take out proto=tcp stuff. Also it would be better to add ver=2 from linux side.

Hi Kamal,
- Try an exportfs on HP and verify on your linux that you're not in secure mode ;-). It's possible that your linux configuration refuse a monting point.
- Verify that your HP has different name, IP and MAC adress.

Else ask question on linux forums.
