NFS Mount

[Angela L. Shepherd]

I keep receiving the following error messages when I try to mount a nfs file system:

nfs mount: get_fh: /dpas11:: RPC: Unknown host

Hi Angela,
Can you ping your server by name from your client? Looks like your client don't know the name of your server.
Are you using /etc/hosts file or DNS? You can check that from your /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

Hi,

If the said host is valid then check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file

Please close this issue. I resolved my own problem. My /etc/fstab entry was incorrect.

Thank you.
