What am I doing wrong? The mount command should be: mount fedoraserver:/home/mydir /home/jonh/server-mydir Let the system figure out what the options are.

I suspect the problem is the trailing "/" on the export on the Fedora server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Never try to outstubborn a cat. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
