NFS errors - where are they logged
suse 10.0, fully updated. When I try to add another NFS mount thru yast, at the very end, where it stops then starts the client, it hangs. I've tried /var/log/messages with no luck. I've had to fix this once before, but I can't recall what I did LOL TIA Steve

Try yast logs. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFFJ6sLtTMYHG2NR9URAgBeAKCWAWXREI6tNf2/6wXDGEyNER7BQgCePTWE A6lhcjbZIlV7QRw/YHPQyRk= =Aa/o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
This is rather basic, but does the NFS server have the mount point exported? What does the entry in the clients /etc/fstab look like for the point being mounted? 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.

yes, it appears in yast on the client

running mount /mnt/multimedia as root causes it to hang. ctrl c to kill it. Still searching...thanks.

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.

No, that was just an fstab entry. Steve clearly said the mount command hung, so I don't think it's the same problem you saw.

yast services shows portmapper running. security, firewall shows "port for NFS client open" - but not a port number.

On the NFS server: What is shown in the file /etc/exports, it would also be good to see what the following command gives: exportfs , this will show all the FS that are being exported.

I assume /mnt/multimedia exits on the client.

This could be a problem on the client or the server. Mike

starting to suspect the server somehow lol
I have seen a problem like this before (RedHat), don't remember what exactly I did to fix it. If you have the ability, you might try to reboot the NFS server. Mike Steve Jeppesen wrote:

rebooting the server, then having to run /etc/init.d/nfsserver start did the trick. Not sure what went wrong, but it's working again. Thanks all to help
