Hi.
Using Ubuntu 7.10 I want to mount a directory shared on a Fedora
machine with NFS.
On Fedora machine (fedoraserver):
* edited '/etc/exports' and added:
-----------
/home/mydir/ pc09(rw)
-----------
* /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart
On Ubuntu machine (pc09)
* mkdir /home/john/server-mydir
* mount -o nfsvers=2 fedoraserver:/home/mydir /home/jonh/server-mydir
-o nfsvers=2
But I get this error message:
-------
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on fedoraserver:/home/mydir/,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
-------
'fedoraserver' does exist for 'pc09' and 'pc09' does exist for
'fedoraserver'. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much.
First verify that it is shared correctly.
On pc09:
showmount -e fedoraserver
That command should show you any files systems you can mount.
Next, let the client machine figure it out for himself what the server
wants:
On pc09:
mount fedoraserver:/home/mydir /home/jonh/server-mydir
You should not need any other options.
The structure of the source is like a URL, mount knows it is NFS just by
the format of the source, ie: server:/dir
Good Luck!
