Subject: NFS Setup

Hello,

My name is John Tankersley. I am new to NFS and am seeking some help in
how to set up the entries in
the /etc/exports file on the host side and the /etc/fstab file on the
client side.
I have two machines running SuSE Linux 7.3 professional each. I can
ping and telnet between the two
machines successfully. Machine (1) host machine's ip is 192.168.1.3.
The client machine's ip is
192.168.1.1. Here is the entry in the host machine /etc/exports file.
/tmp 192.168.1.1.
The entry at the client machine in /etc/fstab file is 192.168.1.3:/tmp.
I just want to know what I am doing wrong in my entries. I hope my
explanation is clear. I am trying to mount the /tmp directory on the
host machine to the client machine. Could someone please indicate what
is wrong with my entries?

Thank-you,

John Tankersley

You are missing the required mount point, filesystem type, and mount
options in your client's /etc/fstab. See fstab(5) manpage. For example,
the entry in your client's /etc/fstab might need to look like:
192.168.1.3:/tmp /mnt/tmp nfs rw,hard,intr

Note, the /mnt/tmp mount point is just an example, you can use whatever you
require; and the options are typical but may be different for your needs.

You may also want to add options to your server's /etc/exports; it's
optional, but you may want to change the defaults. See exports(5) manpage.
