Hi, Steve,
That message usually means that the directory isn't being exported
correctly. First, make sure that you have all of the machines listed in
/etc/hosts. Also, make sure that your network connection is OK, and
that you have nfs and nfs-server support built into your kernels. Let's
say you have two machines, A and B, in your network. If you want to nfs
mount A's /directory so that B has nfs access, you need this in A's
/etc/exports:
/directory (rw)
This will export A's /directory to all machines in your local network
with read-write permission. If you want to export /directory to only
certain machines, you need:
/directory B(rw)
/directory C(rw)
...
Then, on B create a mount point directory, like /directory. Add this
line to B's /etc/fstab:
A:/directory /directory nfs defaults
This means that A's /directory will be nfs mounted on B's /directory.
Then, just to be safe, restart nfs on both machines:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
Next, on all machines which are exporting directories, do
'/usr/sbin/exportfs'. Finally, on all machines, do 'mount -a'. 'df'
should then show all directories, including the nfs mounted ones. Good
luck,
Hidong
