I recently installed Fedora-11 on a rather old PIII (12 years?) machine, after quite a lot of trouble. (Preupgrade failed, as did the KDE Live CD. I succeeded in the end installing from the DVD ISO on the hard disk, after choosing an absolute minimum to install - just KDE and X.) This machine is not my home server, but it has a /common directory which I mount on other machines. I find that I can only mount it on a client laptop by (1) Turning off iptables (and ip6tables) on the server; and (2) Giving the command sudo mount -o nolock alfred:/common /common on the client. I notice that nfsstat on the server says I am running "Server nfs v3", while the service I allowed under system-config-firewall is nfs4 . There is no entry for any other version of NFS. I also notice that "rpcinfo -p localhost" on the server seems to suggest that nfs versions 2,3 and 4 are available. Should I tell my client laptop (which is also running Fedora-11) to use nfs4 protocol in some way? I'm no NFS expert, and have probably misunderstood something. Any enlightenment gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
