Unable to mount nfs on client system.

[Viswanadhan]

Hi Admins,

Im unable to mount the nfs on client system.
I see require daemons are running on server, and client system.
I donot see /etc/dfs directory. I tried to mount from server as

Server# mount -F nfs server:/docs client:/u06
Error is "mount: absolute path name is required for client:/u06"

Client#mount -F nfs Server:/docs /u06
Permission denied
#

Please guide me on this.

Regards,
Viswa.

You need to go to Server and see how you exported /docs/.
Look at /etc/exports & /etc/xtab.

Hi,

Check if this helps you out..

# grep NFS /etc/services
nfsd 2049/udp # NFS remote file system
nfsd 2049/tcp # NFS remote file system
# netstat -a | grep NFS 2049
grep: can't open 2049
# netstat -a | grep -i nfsd
tcp 0 0 *.nfsd *.* LISTEN
udp 0 0 *.nfsd *.*
udp 0 0 *.nfsd *.*

Best Regards,
Prashanth
