nfs mount

[Kgreen]

I am a bit new to nfs mounts. I have 2 nfs mount points. Both were mounted. I tried to unmount and mount both of them . One got mounted while the other did not.

ecc3d.am.elcompanies.net:/usr/sap/trans /usr/sap/trans nfs rw,suid 0 0

ecc4q.am.elcompanies.net:/sapbasis /sapbasis nfs rw,suid 0 0
ecc6ta#
ecc6ta#
ecc6ta# mount -F nfs ecc3d.am.elcompanies.net:/usr/sap/trans /usr/sap/trans
Permission denied

check mount directory permissions for /usr/sap/trans

remember that if any filesystem / nfs mounted underneath that directory then you won't be able to mount it.

Ex: Say /usr/sap/trans/temp is another mount point and which is already mounted then you unmount this one first before you attempt to mount /usr/sap/tans

better yet, check the exporting system's /etc/exports file to see if this client system is in the exported systems' list

[Kevin Wright]

are you sure the /usr/sap/trans filesystem is exported to ecc6ta?

showmount -e ecc3d.. check the /etc/exports file, add the hostname, then run exportfs -a

On the ecc3d server, is the nfs server service started? Also, as stated earlier check the /etc/exports file.

Try running the showmount -e from the ecc3d server. This will show the exports, showmount -a will show who is connected.
