Nfs mount problem

[Tarek Ghaddar]

Hi i want to share directories through unix systems but i got some problems. On one workstation i shared directories and on the other i'm trying to mount. On the client if i issue: mount servername:/directory /my_directory it works fine, but if i try on client to do cd /net/servername/directory i got this error message:
/net/servername/directory: No such file or directory..
why? with the mount command it works. On the server the nfs.server is up and on the client nfs.client is up..so any help??
Thanks

Hi,
Is the mount directory the same than the directory you try to go in ?
Did you type :
# mount servername:/directory /net/servername/directory ?
After the mount type bdf to check if the mount worked propely.

It's not the same directory. And as you told me to do
mount server:/directory /net/servername/directory it doesn't work, but it's because /net/servername/directory does not exist. By typing cd /net/servername/directory is a fast way to mount directories via nfs.

Did you try
# cd

I tried the cd /net/severname/directory on one of my server, with the same results : not found
But cd works fine.

I've solved. The problem was related to the /etc/auto_master that was wrong configurated.
Thanks for your help.
