You said you edited the fstab on the client, but did you do the server end? The /etc/exports file on the server must have a line allowing the client to mount the exported volume It should have a line similar to this /home <client IP>(options) Since you say this is a new client setup, have you verified the server is exporting the volume to that client? If you edit /etc/exports you will need to restart nfs on the server. > > > >
