This is rather basic, but does the NFS server have the mount point exported?
yes, it appears in yast on the client
What does the entry in the clients /etc/fstab look like for the point being mounted?
192.168.1.107:/media/disk/public/Multimedia /mnt/multimedia nfs defaults 0 0
To have a client mount an NFS mount, only requires the the entry in /etc/fstab and then to actually issue the mount command for the FS to be mounted, or issue the command: mount -a which will mount any mount point that is not already mounted.
running mount /mnt/multimedia as root causes it to hang. ctrl c to kill it.
Make sure you have portmapper running, and that port 111 is open in the firewall. This must be true both on the client and on the server
Here /media/disk/public/Multimedia seems to be mounted directory, and that looks like problem that I stumbled over some time ago. Exported FS was on SUSE 9.3, machine. NFS export configuration was plain from man page, to allow everybody on local network to mount exported file system read write. It worked fine for normal file system operations. I wanted to export iso images mounted via loopback device. The files were visible on local system, but there was nothing on remote computer. So far I can recall there was no errors reported by mount on remote machine, just nothing to see in a directory. It was during installation when I tried to skip unpacking iso images to directories on hard disk, so I just copied files to HD and continued installation. -- Regards, Rajko M.
