mount: RPC: Timed out

[Tarek_1]

Hi,
how can i solve this problem while i try to mount a remote filesystem?
NFS Server: Redhat 7.2
portmap running
nfs running
entry in /etc/exports:
/home/oracle/SW ipaddress(ro)

NFS Client: Redhat Advanced Server
mount -t nfs ipaddress_nfs_server:/home/oracle/SW /mnt/dir
when i issue this command i got the error message:
mount: RPC: Timed out
Any hint?

Hi,

It seems like the client cannot connect to the portmapper on the server. Can you pls post the output of "rpcinfo -p " on the client?

Are the nfs server or client protected by a firewall (external or via their own netfilter rules)?

Regards,

Vincent

Hi
I think its because of firewall on the client

issue the command

"service iptables stop"

and try to mount it again.

If that doesn't work, run the same command but this time in the server.

--psreddy
