Peter, I'll give this version a try. I haven't used the insecure option yet. That one is new. (10 minutes later...) Nope - no luck. From the server side: dragonfly ~ # exportfs -ra dragonfly ~ # /etc/init.d/nfs restart * Stopping NFS mountd ... [ ok ] * Stopping NFS daemon ... [ ok ] * Stopping NFS statd ... [ ok ] * Starting NFS statd ... [ ok ] * Exporting NFS directories ... [ ok ] * Starting NFS daemon ... [ ok ] * Starting NFS mountd ... [ ok ]dragonfly ~ # cat /etc/exports # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported. See exports(5). /MusicLib 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(sync,insecure,no_root_squash,ro) dragonfly ~ # exportfs /MusicLib 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 dragonfly ~ # So the server says it's exported. However on the Gentoo laptop I get this when I try to mount it: flash ~ $ mount MusicLib mount: dragonfly:/MusicLib failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory flash ~ $ If you have a second could you reply back with what services you are running on the server when you do this? The ones below I've been messing with but I no longer am really sure which are required on a Gentoo server. I'm not currently running nfsmount or xinetd although I have tried them. (I think...) netmount (default) nfs (default) nfsmount (not started) portmap (default) xinetd (not started) If there is some other service or a specific config file you think I should check on please let me know. I'm completely puzzled here. The machine serves as a MythTV backend server as well as a day to day desktop for my wife. It's a great machine in every other respect. I just cannot figure this one out.
