List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: 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.

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 jkt@execpc.com _______________________________________________ NFS maillist - NFS@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs _______________________________________________ NFS maillist - NFS@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs
