Hi Per.
Now I try the same on my SuSE 10.1.
Here is what I have under /media:
# ls -l /media/ total 6 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 21 12:40 Debian_Inst <---USB-Sticker dr-xr-xr-x 7 erikja root 6144 May 9 02:05 SU1010_001<---SuSE 10.1 DVD drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 20 15:40 floppy drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 20 20:01 sys
The Debian_Inst is the USB-Sticker The SU1010_001 is the SuSE 10.1 DVD. Both are now plugged into the computer.
If unplugged, I only have /floppy and /sys under /media.
My SuSE box has the IP 192.168.1.9
/etc/exports looks like this:
mnt/cdrom 192.168.0.0/16(ro,sync)
/etc/exports is the file on the -server- that contains info that it is sharing. In your case the machine that has the DVD in the drive would be the server -not- the client trying to mount the nfs share. On the server add this to /etc/export /media/SU1010_001 192.168.0.0/16(ro,sync) and then restart the nfs server daemon with rcnfsserver restart. Next see if you can mount the nfs share on the -client- machine. mount <server IP>:/media/SU1010_001 /mnt/cdrom Perhaps you are confused about server/client machines and which needs what configured. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
