Problems to mount NFS

[Carles Viaplana]

Hello,

I'm trying to mount a nfs but I get the following error:

real> $ mount -F nfs osiris:/titania /export
Permission denied
real> $

Local system and remote system are HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/800 and filesystem on remote I want to mount is:

kbytes: 6144000
used: 2610
avail: 5757561
%used: 0%
Mounted on: /titania
type: vxfs (log,nodatainlog)

Permissions on remote and local directories are full control for everyone.

Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Carles

Hi,

Directory permissions will not count when mountinf a file system as NFS. You sould see the /etc/exports of the NFS server which is sharing this file system.

It is quite possible that the file system is only shared to limited hosts listed in /etc/exports of the NFS server.

HTH,

As a normal user, you can not mount it. you need to be root and you need to have mount access for that nfs share.

What does showmount -e "nfs_server" show??

Hi Carles, Normal user can;t mount a NFS dir. You can su to root account and mount from there.

Hi all,

Thanks for your messages. Finally I found the error. I forgot to export filesystem from remote machine.

After to do this I'm able to mount nfs.

Thanks again for your help.
