yes, I tried to set up two computers - one as a server and one as a client. And
it is the /etc/fstab of the client which is not set up correctly.
In the description above I just forgot to mention that I of course tell the
client which filesystems to mount from which server.
So, I do the following:
1. setting up the server... creating a folder which should be shared, starting
Yast --> NFS server... then in the first menu, I choose that the server should
be started and the firewall port should be opened.
I leave the option "activate NFSv4" checked.
Then, in the next screen I choose "add directory" and choose the created
directory. Then it will be exported.
I leave the pop-up with "computer wildcard" and all the permissions as it is
and just click "ok".
With that the server is set up (I assume)
2. setting up the client... I open Yast--> NFS client, then I search for
computers in the network. Then I choose the directory on the server and a mount
point on the client (I choosed /media). In the upper part of the Yast-Window,
there are all information which directories on the server... permissions and so
on. So I assumed that Yast got all the information for mounting the servers
directory on the client.
Then I check the options (firewall etc) and click "ok" and then the failure
message pops up, that the client cannot mount the server directory from
/etc/fstab
If it would be just a missed step, then I would be glad - also if you could
give me a hint on it ;-)
Thanks!
Steffen
