We see it in top and remember we can mount zaragoza directories at valencia mount points. This is the reverse of what is not working. >>[root]# mount -o rsize=1024,wsize=1024 valencia:/home/jna/mnt/valencia >>mount: valencia:/home/jna failed, reason given by server: Permission denied > > If you've modified /etc/exports, make sure you 'exportfs -a'. What's > the output of exportfs (with no arguments) on the server? > [root@valencia jna]# exportfs /home/jna zaragoza.andante.mn.org which looks correct yet every time we attempt a mount from the client we see this entry in the server's /var/log/messages: Apr 2 09:56:08 valencia mountd[647]: refused mount request from zaragoza.andante.mn.org for /home/jna (/): no export entry Could this have anything to do with trying to mount 6.2 directories on a 7.1 system? ######################################################################## ####################### Original Question ############################## Ok list, I need some help. I have a laptop running RedHat 6.2. I am trying to mount directories via NFS. Now I do not want to do this if the laptop is not on my local LAN, so I am not starting NFS in my boot scripts. I am starting it manually. The tower onto which I am mounting the laptop directory is running RedHat 7.1. The laptop is valencia, the tower is zaragoza. Ok first here is my /etc/exports ############################################################################## /home/jna zaragoza.andante.mn.org(rw,no_root_squash) ############################################################################## The first try I did [root]# mount -o rsize=1024,wsize=1024 valencia:/home/jna/Ok list, I need some help.
