I have installed NFS on two machines (called "poblano" and "chipotle"), each with both a server and a client. Both machines run oS v11.1 with KDE3.
<snip> Sorry, I don't use KDE so none of that means anything to me. What are the command-line outputs from: nfsstat cat /etc/mtab grep nfs /var/log/YaST2/y2log grep nfs /var/log/messages (just recent messages from the latter two)
When I close the window Yast > Network Services > NFS Client in poblano, there is an error message: "Unable to mount the NFS entries from /etc/fstab". The NFS line in fstab is"chipotle /home /nfs/chipotle/home nfs rw,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0". This does not happen on chipotle, which contains exactly the same line in fstab except of the name substitution.
That line is in error. You need to have the correct format - man 5 nfs - the example shows the format: server:/usr/local/pub /pub nfs rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,intr Note the colon. Read the manpage for options, yours are probably fine.
In poblano, the client configuration points to the chipotle server, /home, /nfs/chipotle/home mounting point, nfs type, with options rw,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192. NFSv4 is disabled. Same for the other machine, except that the mounting point is /nfs/poblano/home.
On both machines, /etc/exports contains only a single line: "/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,root_squash,sync,subtree_check,nohide)".
Check the manpage about the subtree_check option, you probably don't want it. Why have you enabled nohide? Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
