I am trying to nfs mount one dir on the server to another client. Both on the server and client I restarted portmap,nfs and autofs everything is restarting fine. In the /etc/sysconfig/autofs file based on the suggestion of few in this forum I have changed the localoptions to udp on both the machines. In the /etc/exports dir I have the folloing /u01 192.105.12.10(rw,sync) Where /u01 is the dir in the server and 192.... is the ip of the client. Both the machines run on FC-4 and I tried with mount nfsver=2 option too but I get the server down message. Let me know if there is a solution to tackle this. -Vijay __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
