You are missing the mount point/destination.
What I did, and got :-)
mount 192.168.1.1:/mnt/cdrom mount: can't find 192.168.1.1:/mnt/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
In your fstab try:
192.168.1.1:/mnt/cdrom /media/nfs nfs defaults 0 0
Make sure that /media/nfs exists first.
Thanks Ken and Leendert. I did the above, and now I got this: ls -l /mnt/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 13 2005 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 3 2005 floppy drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 20 15:59 nfs drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 15 2005 sys drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 20 10:58 usb [root@mail /]# mount 192.168.1.1:/mnt/cdrom mount to NFS server '192.168.1.1' failed. /etc/fstab: 192.168.1.1:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/nfs nfs defaults 0 0 How do I see if the NFS server is running ?. I have the nfs-utils installed. Here's what I could find out of on the server with reference to nfs: service nfs status Shutting down NFS mountd: rpc.mountd is stopped nfsd is stopped rpc.rquotad is stopped [root@mail /]# service nfs start Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ] Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] NB: Its NOT a SuSE server. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Erik Jakobsen DENMARK
