>From a command line do a 'ping <server_name> and see if that's successful. I just dealt with this early today where I was getting a server down. The server was up, DNS has the correct info and so did NIS hosts but my _local_ hosts file had the wrong IP and therefore it was unreachable. If you get a response from the server ping, login to the server, do a 'ps -aux | grep nfs' and make sure that NFS is really running. Also, at a command line on the server you can do an 'exportfs' and it will show you what filesystems are exporting. If all that looks good, try putting /u01 *(sync) In your /etc/exports file and restart NFS just to see if it's an security issue hanging you up. -brian Brian D.

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!
