Fedora Users — Re: Mounting a SimpleShare drive from a second FC5 machine.

We probably need a little more info. What does the mount command by itself tell you on both machines? Looking at disk space, mount points, etc. On your problem machine, copy the /etc/fstab to something like /etc/fstab.bak. Then try it with the exact same /etc/fstab on both boxes and see if that works.

Speaking of which, I have seen sometimes the smallest spacing error cause problems with the parsing of certain config files. I have been known to do this exact thing on production machines with identical hardware when troubleshooting stuff like this.

I have a SimpleShare 250 GB drive that I use to backup my main machine. I issue the command

mount -t nfs 192.168.2.100:/shares/SimplePool/Netfolder/ /mnt/BU

and it mounts without problem. On my other FC5 machine when I issue the command I get

mount: 192.168.2.100:/shares/SimplePool/Netfolder/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

I'm baffled why this works on the one but not the other. Both accounts use the same UID,PW pair.
