It's late for me, and my ability to think is probably sadly
diminished. First thing is make sure that portmap is running on both
sides, second make sure that you mount them in order.
i.e.:
mount m:/ /m
mount m:/disk /m/disk
mount m:/disk/export /m/disk/export
also, if you mount /m/disk/export first - to any directory, you will not
be able to mount /m/disk.
It has been my experience that you need to maintain the hierarchy w/
nfs, then everything is rosy.
js
If i try mounting / or /disk it gives me getfh failed message in the log. I've tried unmounting everything, and then mounting /, /disk, /disk/export and the only one that works is /disk/export
The only difference i can see for these mounts is the export file:
/disk/export 131.215.0.0/255.255.0.0(ro) 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0(ro)
/disk machine2(rw,no_root_squash)
machine2 can mount /disk/export but not disk
And i still get this error when i run exportfs -a on machine:
sudo exportfs -a
machine2:/disk: Invalid argument
I get that message even when i remove the line to allow machine2 to mount to /disk
any other ideas?
