I have two PC's: bullet.espersunited.com and baby.espersunited.com I would like to mount some of bullet's directories on baby. I started the NFS service on bullet and ran redhat-config-nfs. I set up /backup on bullet to be the directory exported and to only export it to baby.espersunited.com . bullet doesn't have a monitor hooked up to it; I always access it through ssd. I logged out of bullet and returned to baby and issued the mount command: [root@baby root]# mount bullet.espersunited.com:/backup /backup/bullet mount: RPC: Remote system error - No route to host I know there's a route to bullet because I just ssh'd over there. I thought maybe it was because the NFS daemon on baby wasn't running. I entered "service nfs start": [root@baby root]# service nfs start Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused rpc.rquotad: unable to register (RQUOTAPROG, RQUOTAVERS, udp). [FAILED] Starting NFS daemon: and then it sits there with the cursor blinking. After three minutes I got tired of it and hit Ctl-C to stop it. What should I do to fix these errors? How do I mount bullet.espersunited.com on baby? Am I doing something wrong?
