/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.
Ok Ken.
On the server add this to /etc/export
/media/SU1010_001 192.168.0.0/16(ro,sync)
I have done it.
and then restart the nfs server daemon with rcnfsserver restart.
Done!
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.
Yes right. I'm confused as it's the first time I'm working on that :-) But think I don't need to tell that from all my queries :-) Here is what has been done now: Start of the nfsserver: ****************** lajka3:~ # rcnfsserver status Checking for kernel based NFS server: unused lajka3:~ # rcnfsserver start Starting kernel based NFS server done lajka3:~ # rcnfsserver status Checking for kernel based NFS server: running Modifying of /etc/exports: ************************ lajka3:~ # cd /etc/ lajka3:/etc # nano exports nfs restarting: ************** lajka3:/etc # rcnfsserver restart Shutting down kernel based NFS server done Starting kernel based NFS server done The mounting: ************** lajka3:/etc # mount 192.168.1.9:/media/SU1010_001 /mnt/cdrom mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist lajka3:/etc # mount 192.168.1.9:/media/SU1010_001 /mnt/Debian_Inst mount: mount point /mnt/Debian_Inst does not exist lajka3:/etc # mount 192.168.1.9:/media/SU1010_001 /media/Debian_Inst lajka3:/etc # cd /media/SU1010_001/boot/i386/ ^^Now it succeded. mkbootdisk: ************ lajka3:/media/SU1010_001/boot/i386 # perl ./mkbootdisk --32 --partition /dev/sda /mnt /mnt: no i386 installation source Now it is running, but as mentioned its not a FAT system.. *********************************************** lajka3:/media/SU1010_001/boot/i386 # perl ./mkbootdisk --32 --partition /dev/sda1 /media/Debian_Inst/ disk /dev/sda, partition /dev/sda1 not a FAT file system And that it's not a FAT system is what we know, cause it's a nfs system. Is that not what I have to conclude ?
