So you are trying to mount a remote directory as local:/mnt/cdrom when there is already a CD-ROM mounted as local:/mnt/cdrom? Why are you trying to do this? Why not just umount the local CD-ROM from /mnt/cdrom before trying to do the NFS mount? Or mount the remote directory at a different mount point, e.g. # mkdir /mnt/nfs-cdrom mount -r server:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/nfs-cdrom Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
