Mar 31 11:45:23 server1 automountd[1080]: , : RPC: Unknown host


What does it mean?

Are you able to ping the target server by name.

Check the name resolution system (/etc/nsswitch.conf). Put the entry of target server in /etc/hosts (name and ip address).

Hi Stefan

It seems to be the system which u r trying to mount, is not able to resolve.

What is N4000???

Is any machine named N4000??

*) check as per PVK told, name resolution.
*) Check the fstab, any invalid entry for hostname
*) Check the auto_master, any invalid entry hostname

Make sure you are able to resolve the hostnames listed in /etc/auto_master and in any of the direct/indirect maps mentioned in /etc/auto_master.

Looks like the system is not able to resolve the host name of the NFS server.
