Hey, Yeah, nfs-client is a virtual package that depends only on nfs-common. I was testing the commands here on Ubuntu, but firing up an etch vm I noticed that /sbin/mount/nfs doesn't exist but it has no issues mounting nfs. It does have the nfs-common package installed. NFS mounting is handled internally by /bin/mount instead of using /sbin/mount.nfs What is the output of this?: ser:# showmount -e 192.168.1.101 and trying explicit options: ser:# mount -v 192.168.1.101:/var/fs /mnt/nfs ser:# mount -vt nfs -o nolock 192.168.1.101:/var/fs /mnt/nfs ser:# mount -vt nfs4 192.168.1.101:/var/fs /mnt/nfs cheers, Owen. -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
